I really don't think that AJE is behind the work visa delay. AJE external affairs has no control over visa approvals. They submit the forms to the government and wait for a response.

The reason why they are not informing you of anything is because external affairs hasn't gotten an approval or rejection from the Qatari immigration...so they cannot give you an answer if they don't have an answer to give. Make sense?

Did you confirm that external affairs submitted your paperwork to immigration?

In Qatar things take time, and patience is a vertue.
