Jud went to Abu Dhabi several weeks ago and had his interview and his medical exam. The interview was a smashing success with his Emirati interviewer zipping down the hall after it was over saying "Hire Him!" But there were some concerns on his medical exam. But after careful consideration, the doctor signed off on it.
But those concerns raised some red flags for an individual in the human resources department and he has put this entire process on hold as he considers the exceptions they have made to Jud's coming on and our move to Abu Dhabi. The delay has been so frustrating for us and frustrating for the team wanting to bring Jud over that one of Jud's "big bosses" has flown over to Abu Dhabi to motivate this process along.
Jud has taken a few days of vacation this week to take a deep breath and walk away from the stress of the last several weeks. But if all goes well with this big boss's visit over there, we should have much more information and can resume all the processes of visas, home improvements/sale by the end of this week.
The complete LACK of information has been more frustrating than anything we have experienced so far and to know that there is forward motion on some of these things has been a huge relief.
I'll keep you posted when we hear more.

Not to discourage, but get used to these stall outs. Our move, and life in a new country, have all been marked by stalls such as this.
ReplyDeletePraying for you guys in the meantime; it is frustrating! Not denying that at all!
