Currently I live in my home country Sri Lanka. I'm a graduate who is being expecting a network engineer job in computer networking side. I've been offerd a job letter from a multi national company in Qatar on 14th april 2014. As my brother lives and works in that company, he is the only sponser that I have got in Qatar. I have signed the job contract letter and also I have provided all the necassary documents for the work visa processing.
About 2 weeks later, I've got to know the visas issuing for Sri Lankan expats have finished and the company got to convert some visas which issuing for other countries to Sri Lankan expats. Mean time, the Ramadan holy month has started in july 2014. But I have applied visa in april 2014. I have waited untill now expecting my work visa. I've been said it will take an usual delay due to holy month since Qatar goverment officers only work half of the day. I was respected the holy month and waited.
Few days back, I got to know that the visas applied by the company were received as labour visas instead engineer visas requested from Qatar government. All these informed by my brother.
I'm still waiting listening to all these stories they keep saying. Now the date is 27th july 2014 and I've got nothing yet.
Please could anyone reply to my message. Could anyone tell me what may be the reasons to have such a delay. When will I get my correct visa? Please be kind enough to reply to this message to have some reliefe for my frustration.
Thank you.
