Unni Tuesday, June 15, 2021 The intention of Govt authorities is worth appreciating. But the ground realities are not in line. My personal experience at Kuwait Society of Engineers (KSE) is a simple example. I have KSE membership renewed after latest MOFA attestations and received NOC in Dec-2020. Recently I got a new Job and had visited KSE 4 times (with apnmt) to get an NOC. Each time different staff is narrating "all your docs are ok....waiting for signature; come next week". Till this time I don''t know what is the actual procedure pending there....in my case. The core of the matter is I am vulnerable (age-wise) to get Covid while using public Transport/Taxi (as I don''t have personal Vehicle) and I am jobless until my visa stamping is done in new Company. Kindly requesting the authorities to simplify the process at least during this pandemic and not to harass unnecessarily.
