Thank you so much guys....for ur quick response

One small Doubt:

For Engineer Visa or Profession change...Will anyone from embassy backtrack all my previous companies as i dont have one of my experience certificates as i flew from that company.

Plss clear my concern...As I heard Embassy people of Ministry of HR will backtrack and enquire in previous companies for Engineer visa

yes u all right but sometimes sponsors and company they dont mind it but coz u a poor person in ur country you want job and grab opportunity to work abroad and never thinking the future thats the reason...anyway you can transfer thru your company mandub,,everyting is possible as long as your qualified and testd all your documents from foreign affairs.

lol, how pathetic. Engineer on Carpenter Visa ? So you are also lion on monkey visa (Read http://www.qatarliving.com/advice-help/posts/regarding-salary-slip ).

You shouldn't have agreed this profession on visa. anyway one of my friend had similar case and he successfully managed to get it changed but it took really long time (due to this attestation etc. ) to get his family visa.

Start doing one by one as stated in above comment. Good luck :)

Dear Friend,

No need to worry about it. 1st of all Submit your Degree Certificate with all the attestation to your Company PRO to change your Profession. And if you are having a total package of 10k as salary you will be getting your family residence visa.

After your Profession changed you need to arrange a six month Salary transaction Statement, Current company NOC, Degree Certificate copy along with ARabic Transalated copy and must be attested from Qatar Chambers, Passport copies of your and who ever you want bring, Your National ID. Tenancy Contract attested by Muncipality, Copy of Khaarama bill. Submit all these to Immigration Department in Madinat Khalifa.

You also need to qualify a minimum salary of 10K or above for family visa application.
