Thanks for your response. my new company is insterested to hire me but due to unawareness with such issue and in confuse state what has to do further to overcome with these chalenge. Is that will be appropriate if they release me a new offer letter with new designation/title and submit the same?

Ahmed, your new company is supposed to give you more details about it and how they are planning to proceed. They can hire you on a different title or they can hire you on a business visa temporarily. It really depends on your profile and whether they are really interested in hiring you or just want to move away and find another candidate. Also, things are changing these days so what worked for some might not work for others. The point is, the whole thing is now with your new company. They have to guide you or they will tell you that they will withdraw the offer.

I have no idea about "High Class visa". Where did you get that from? Is it written somewhere in your passport?

Hi guys, does sponsorship change have anything to do with class of visa? I mean, if you have a high class visa, does it affect the speed of approval of sponsorship?

Mine was rejected because of Qatarization issues. Since the company I am joining is not meeting its target, the Ministry of Labour decided to block most of its overseas hiring, therefore mine was blocked. It took them around 9 days to issue the rejection, and then 4 more days to change their mind when my company submitted a letter inviting them to review the situation.

What I would say is that your application is stuck with the CID normally. It might take them few more days to process your papers. In the meantime ask your company if this is normal. If they tell you this is fine you do not need to worry about it then it is fine. The only problem would be to manage your situation financially during this time, as I assume you are now paying your own rent.

I mean mine was rejected but the HR department intervened and convinced someone from the Labour Department to accept it. And all that took less than 7 weeks

Who is doing the whole thing for you? The HR department of the company you are planning to join? This is weird. Normally it takes up to 14 days for the CID, and then 1 week for the Labour Department and another week for the Immigration department. 7 weeks is a bit too long so you'd better check with the comapany you are planning to go to and ask them what is going on with your paperwork. Mine was rejected once and took less than that.

it is only one week matter , check with your new sponsor PRO followings

how they apply and your visa validity , if it is expired and applied by online , will not work it shows in the system as processing but will not due to expired visa

if you visa is still valid then your visa not process till now, check online status MOI.gov.qa with application no or QID

Just follow up with your PRO

All depend to CID. Could be weeks, couple months.
