Glueball as I stated FAA carries out safety oversight on contract to Saudi DCA, this function is co-ordinated from FAA Intl. Field Office JFK, confirmed and detailed in the links posted above.
As such Saudi DCA (FAA) will jump the aircraft in JED which they are entitled to do and FAA IFO JFK are a good course of communication for someone in the USA
My suggested course of action is correct and viable.
