    AA;

    I am new to KSA since 4 months. I am on Plumber visa here in jeddah and the kafeel is also of jeddah. I am MBA and Certified in PMP plus other Certs.
    I have been interviewed by some IT org they are 99% willing to hire me but the 1% that becomes heavier than the rest is that i am on
    1- plumber visa-- they say, plumber has nothing to do with IT, so change your profession first then we will consider hiring you and
    2- Iqama transfer-- they say, you will be 2 year free not under our sponsorship, this is a risk for us that you might leave and we can't have a binding contract with you because of this reason.
    and in both the above cases, they say, that we are also under risk that someone from labour office might check with us then we will be under problem so as you.
    Also they suppose that;

    If we hire you with your plumber prof not being under our sponsorship is a huge risk and if you are under our sponsorship suppose but agian with a plumber prof. is again a risk for us.
    The HR manager of that org, suggested me to change my profession and change kifala.

    my questions are;

    1- Can i change my profession? can guide me in that
    2- Can i apply for kifala transfer, though i know there is limit that one can't apply before 2years.

    Imran,
