As-salamu Alaikum family and friends here in this platform. My name is Abdulai from Ghana. Please I am a new person in Saudi Arabia about two months now.

Please family, the problem I am facing now is, my kafeel said he is not responsible for me here, and when I call my agent at Ghana he is not saying anything about my Iqama or job. Even eating is very difficult for me here. Please I want a job,聽 any help please.

Your agent must have sold you just the visa. You are your own and the kafeel might not even renew your iqamah once it expires (since you're not working for them).

Your best bet is to find a job anywhere, even if it's out of your payscale or industry to make end meets until you find a stable job somewhere. Either that or sorry to say that you'd need to leave the country as a final resort. Hope someone else here can chime in with better advice.
