hi
I would suggest you nag visa people.Your job will probably be dependent on getting the visa. The uni is enormous so emailing and phoning may have no results, I'm afraid. I am at PNU now and had to do a lot of paperwork to get the visa. After I got it, I contacted PNU again through my agent and we organised my arrival date.
I was recruited through an agent but had to do all the paperwork myself.
They do need teachers so dont guve up...but you need to follow things thtough yourself..nothing is done for you til you almost arrive.

PNU have messed up a lot of people's plans.  They seem to be very unreliable.

I have signed a contract for August start and was told from day that my husband can be with me.  Now when I need to sort the visa out they have announced that the Ministry of Labour have said that ESL teachers are not allowed to have their spouse/family sponsored nor can i bring them over after i get my iqama.  I have spent the last few weeks calling and speaking to various people at the ministries and they don't understand why it's a problem.  I'm a Muslim woman so I can have my Mahram (which is my husband) with me and PNU can get my husband to join me with a Mahram visa, I've been told that it's the law of the land!  BUT PNU have been 'looking into this'  for over three weeks, having no contact with us, leaving my husband and i hanging around and eargly awaiting for their response which may take a few more weeks!!!!!

We've also put our lives on hold!!!

Hi Riz,

I'm sorry to tell you that PNU has stopped allowing women to bring their male relatives and family. I know at least 2 teachers who have been trying for over a year, but nothing doing. They are fixed on this, no matter what people tell you.

Perhaps your husband can look for a job while you are here?

However, thank you for your contribution to this thread.
