Hope all of u QLrs had a gr8 day , mine wasnt...

it all started when i visited the HR in my company to chk on why my RP isnt ready and taking so long only then i have been told that my passport has been HELD because i have a valid UAE RP and its not alloowed to have a dual residence in Qatar which i was never told anything about and i have to pay 2000 riyals as a penalty only to get MY passport released !!!!!!

then i required about my family RP so they told me that the rules has CHANGED yesterday and now i cant bring then on a RP as i dnt hv 6 mnth statement!!!!!

which means that my son cant join any school here because he doesnt have a valid Qatari residence!!!!!!

i said OK just bring them in and then we will see what we will do about it as my son know is out of school as i had to cancel there UAE residence and they are know back home till they arrive in Qatar.

then the PRO requested my residency contract as its required to get them the visit visa so i contacted the brkr who got me the flat requesting the contract which the landlord refued to give it to me even give me the kees of the flat which i have already paid him 26,000 riyals as a one month rent and one month security deposit and he said that he wont give it to me till i give him a copy of my PR and the rest of the rent chqs which the bank refused to give me as my RP isnt ready so they cant issue me a chq boon and BTW im a big manager in the same bank!!!!!!

and now i am left out in the middle of all the circles and realy dnt know what the hell i should do!!!!

So guys pls tell me if i shld expect any more or this is just a sweet warm welcome from the what so called Qatar !!!!

Went through similar stuff when we first moved here. My DH couldn't sponsor us for a nearly eight months due to various reasons ,and hadn't much help or support from his Company except for words of doom like "send your family back, you won't get pataka for at least 2 years..blah blah"

Alhamdullilah though it all worked out eventually,without me and my daughter ever having to go back. So my advice to you is don't lose heart and don't give up. Be patient and act wisely. and as prism said everything will fall into place once you get your RP, Insha Allah.

Nah, nothing to get used to. Once the RP is done everything will fall in place and you will have a pleasant time here.

Your mentioned you are big manager in the "same" bank? Not very informed/educated for a bank manager. Dude please tell us the name of the bank and if unfortunately i have an account there i would like to wind up ASAP!

Its a surprise that been a Dubai ( GCC ) resident and

didn't check what are the do's & dont's prior to signing

your contract. Least, you could have checked with QL guys, you would have got fair responses which would have reduced your todays tensions. Now, you have to rely on your PRO to speed up RP and then automatically one after another gets resolved. Once the RP is stamped, you can bring family on 6 months VV, meantime try for Family RP. Best of luck.

yes, you must get used to it :(

it will take time before they can sort out your issue as they have this "tomorrow-tomorrow" mentality :(

Well, i hope things will be fine with you.
