I'd not do that, what if you want to go somewhere else.
Just tell your husband you don't want to go. As a woman, I certainly wouldn't want to. It's very restrictive there and more difficult for a woman to get around on her own. A friend of mine lived there while her husband had a job there and she wasn't even allowed to drive a car.

You need to look at the silver lining, always. Although you do not explain in details why you don't want to go, all I can say is that your husband should have consulted this with you before taking this next step. IF he didn't consult you for anything, then he is wrong. I moved from San Juan to America. . .but I consulted with my wife first. The advantage is that you will learn about the culture of the Saudis. It will help you understand the idiosyncrasy of a nation like Saudi Arabia. You can learn a Second Language.. .

What I understand is that you will not go along with him. I have never seen couple coming together. Its always employee first once his visa is stamped then follows the family. If that is the case U have enuf time to prepare urself and do some research what is there for u to keep busy.
You cannot drive there, again restrictions on ur clothing.
Suppose u r forced to join then be there for just few days...isnt it nice to visit another country atleast u will be happy as a traveller you have seen Gulf. Then if u dont like say that u r homesick and run away.
Places like gulf are really good to devlope relationship I am sure you will be happy there

You'd better talk to your husband about your concerns. This is way too big a decision for just one or the other of you to be calling the shots- there needs to be mutual understanding and compromise.
Trying to get your passport or visa denied is definitely NOT a good idea. You could end up on the US government's "no fly" list, or be targeted as a terrorist. You could spend your life unable to get a visa or passport to ANY country! Don't sabotage it!

As a strong willed American woman thr is no way I would be able to watch the mis-treatment of women, and thr is no way I would be able to accept being a second class citizen.
I would be dead within a day because I would open my mouth and end up beaten.
I don't know how your relationship is with your husband, but you need to tell him straight up- you are not going, and tell him why- you do not feel safe or whatever the reason is.
Is this a permanent job? Is it possible that he could go for the alloted time while you stay behind?
I hope things turn out well for you. But please talk to him and be point blank honest.

Well, a carpenter visa is part of a labour visa. And you cannot sponsor your family under labour visa. You will have to change the profession and visa category (doctor, manager, engineer etc..) for your husband to sponsor you ad your family. Once you get the first part sorted out everything is a breeze. He just need a letter from his sponsor, your marriage certificate translated to arabic..well you need all your certificates translated to arabic then process the application with Ministry of Interior with 2000 SAR visa fee. How long depends on how fast your husband and your sponsor can sort it out. It might take from 6 months to 1 year. Like I said before, the tricky part is the Profession and Visa category change. once that sorted out, you can come with in a month. Good Luck.

If you don't want to go then just tell your husband. I'm sure he'll understand. I don't think that there is a "legal" way to get your passport or visa denied (unless you're a criminal).

Why do you not want to go? There are thousands of American women living in Saudi Arabia and are very happy. I have many friends who live over there and they love it! I, myself am trying to get my papers in order to move over there. If you love your husband unconditionally then you will go where he goes. If you have a good marriage here then your marriage will be good there.

You are not an American judging from your question and you must be an Arab or Moslem
But if you are a Christian from the 'West" all you need to do is pack few Bibles and Christian materials from your bags, they will think you are here to spread some words.
You will soon be on your way home and be with your lover.
