How to get the settlement after the issuance of the final judgment?

Q: Dear Sir/Ma`am, I have a labor case and the final judgment was declared in my favor. The settlement is not done yet. I opened an execution file through the typing center. As per the ministry, I had canceled my visa and work permit after getting the judgment. I need your advice as I don`t know the further procedures and how long I have to wait to get the settlement. I`m in a grace period now and it will expire next week. From the typing center, they asked me to call the Tableegh center to get the notification. I don`t know what procedures are going on. How long I have to wait to get the settlement? I know that overstaying will be fined. Do I need to exit or renew my visa? I`m jobless now. Why they are telling me to call Tableegh center? Why it is getting delayed if the judgment is already declared? The company is still opened. They can pay for my settlement. To whom I approach to help me to get the settlement asap? I hope you will reply to me with the right information to help me out with this issue. Thank you! Hopefully
