Are you in Yemen now? Is it because of the hassle of getting married to a foreigner?
I am British and married a Yemeni woman. It was a real headache to get the paperwork done and took a lot of time.
I considered leaving Yemen and getting married abroad, too, but it really is not possible. An American I knew in Yemen took his wife (to be) to Egypt to get married, but once he got back to Yemen, I heard that the authorities did not deem the marriage legal and he had to go through the whole process. (This is what I heard, but I cannot be 100% sure.)
I am not sure of your situation, but can totally sympathise with you, as the whole process took me two years to complete. I had my UK paperwork done in 3 months, it was the Yemeni side which took forever!
I don't think it is possible for you to get married outside of Yemen unless you take your fiancee to the States, where you should be able to get it done.
But then again, visas to the US for Yemenis are not so easy to come by.
You both need a residency permit to be married in Qatar. You will not get one since you are not employed and cannot be sponsored by a fiancé. You will have to be married elsewhere - if indeed, that is wise.
Qatar is not like US..you would have a better chance marrying in Yemen than you would have here. Why doesnt your fiancee, who is Arab, do the legwork and find out for you, you are asking about living together in visit visa while not married. Your fiancee should know better and protect you in an Islamic country, than to make you believe there is a quick way to finalize a marriage in court in a strange country which you will visit for first time. Let him go to court and ask, or approach your embassy. Here you will get sarcasm and uninformed remarks, nothing helpful as you can see.
