1. When will I be notified of my acceptance? Insha-Allah we will do our best
to notify applicants of their admission status within 3 days of the day of their
application, or no later than May 11th. 2. What is the acceptance criteria? Our
program is customized for families, with a special program for youth. Females under the age of 45 are required
to travel with a Mahram per
Saudi regulations.
Males under the age of 18 are required to travel with their family per Saudi
regulations as well. Bay Area and Sacramento applicants will be given priority. 3. If I participated in last year's Umrah Trip, can I still apply to this year's program? Yes but priority will be given to
Bay Area and Sacramento applicants. 4. Are children allowed to come to the program? All ages are welcome. 5. Is there financial aid available? Yes, a limited amount of funds
will be used in financial aid and priority will be given to youth. You may fill
out an application in the APPLY section. 6. Do you accept payments via installments? We may allow an arrangement of
the Umrah cost to be paid via installments in very particular cases and based on
our budget. Please fill out a financial aid application in the APPLY section. 7. Can I join your Umrah group from a country other than the US? We learnt that American Citizens
need to apply for their Umrah Visa from the US only. So there may be
complications to join our group from a country other than the US, knowing that
the Visas will be issued very close to the date of the travel. 8. Will women be able to travel to Saudi Arabia without a Mahram (male guardian)?
Saudi regulations
state that any
lady over the age of forty-five (45) may travel without a Mahram with an
organized group, provided she submits a letter of no objection from her husband,
son or brother authorizing her to travel for Umrah with the named group. This
letter should be notarized.
Women under the age of 45 need to travel with a Mahram. 9. I am interested in going with you for just a few days, can I customize your package? Unfortunately we won't be able to
accommodate customized packages. We offer just one package which is 12 nights
long. 10. I need to visit to my home country after the trip, can I do that? Yes a separate arrangement with
our travel agent can be made if visitation to more countries will be required
after the Umrah program is completed. |
