Madam,
You have already created a mess with your marriage.
Why did not you get approval before tying the knot?
And above all worse things, you two have a kid without marriage approval.
Now, have patience.
Do not try to bribe your way out of this.
If you do this it will create problems for other kids in the future.
Follow the law completely.
I pray you got citizenship.
If you are lucky enough, you and your kids will get citizenship otherwise, you and maybe some of your kids will remain in your husband's sponsorship for years.

theres no way we can do that, since the problem the baby born without permission that will be more difficult to do so,. only the thing which he can do is to take your son, but cant take you. amarah is very strict and also it is more difficult to get permission when you have baby first,. coz its zinah....

im facing the same thing so i am not wishing to get that permission because of so many things to be done. what we are doing only right now is hopefully to process our baby papers too,. and so she can go saudi and have saudi citizenship but me even non saudi can't be granted saudi citizenship... so dont need to push through with that... kingdom is very strict and marry an arab is not so easy.... even i have a friend same problem when covid arrives they're not able to marry also had baby.... but the thing is shes the first wife but only the man needs to wait 35 yrs old so hes able to do so....  but as much as baby first theres no easy way for us to expedite papers. if those single men and women also struggling too. marrying arab is really far way more difficult because of their strict culture and theyre still closed countries... unless hes not from the kingdom there are open Arab countries that has less hassle. but then just pray that things go well your soon to be husband must ask everyone in ksa what process he will do to make those papers. it will really take years so be more patient.

Thank you for your response! I dont agree you calling it a mess though lol. And yes we never thought of bribing just to escape from all the waiting that we need to face. For the citizenship, not really a big deal for me. I just want it for my son, education and benefits wise in the future.

Mess according to the law otherwise sorry for that word.
And the system is very strict.
We have a friend who married a Saudi girl and he got citizenship but his kids are still non-Saudi.
His younger son is 20 years old now.
So, have patience.
Ask your husband to find a man who can help him in the process, but do all the process according to the law.
And i hope after March 2021 they will launch a new system for °µÍø½ûÇøriates and it is possible that they make some improvements in the marriage laws as well.

The only way to expedite it is to have a BIG wasta i.e. influence (know someone very senior in the Government or Royal family).   And that person has to be very close to your husband as no one that senior would want to be seen pushing for permission after the fact for a marriage between a Saudi and a foreigner.  They won't look good and as such, no one will take the risk for anyone they don't know personally.  There is really NO other way.

Normally the kids will get the citizenship if the Father is Saudi but in this case it will be difficult as they were born when you didn't have permission.  For you, it will require time and again, a wasta.  I have a friend who has been married to a Saudi woman for 20 years and he and his kids don't have citizenship.
