I have had an offer from Qatar too, and a good one at that. However, the clinic will not issue a Fit to Work confirmation unless the employer give a Medical Waiver because of my pulmonary scar from a fully cured infection thirty years ago. The clinic inform me that this is due to a new guideline from GAMCA. We may work in any other country without any problem due to this "scar" but for GCC countries like Qatar we need a Waiver from our employer.
I have already emailed my employer explaining this predicament but after one week there is still no reply. Which could be a good sign,(according to my never say die heart), since my employer could just simply say NO and that would be the end of it. Well, since he still has not replied, I am just imagining that he is looking for ways to let me in.
I have made some research too and one article in Gulf Times was very clear, "If TB is detected early and fully treated, people with the disease quickly become non-infectious and eventually cured."

Keep in touch bro, and let me know of your progress re your visa application from the embassy.
