....it wasn't planned but my GF is now pregnant (happened whilst on holiday but she's now back in Qatar). I'll keep the details short - she lives in Qatar on single status contract, I live elsewhere where she can't live, we're not married.
I've trawled through the posts here and realise that we only have limited choices:
1) Abortion in another country - a a very big sin to GOD
2) Depart Qatar and keep baby - best option
3) Get married and keep baby - how? If you are having a Qatar valid Residence permit,yes it is possible, if not no way
Options 1 and 2 are fairly straight forward (I don't mean that from a decision point of view - purely from an organisational one!).
Option 3 raises several questions....
1) How long would it take to get married at the embassy in Qatar - could that be achieved in a weekend (shot-gun wedding or what!). if oyu have the required documents, you can get married fast
1) If we get married then will my GF (or should that be wife!?) be able to transfer her contract to married status without issue? a very complicated issue
2) If the contract can't be changed then will that present issues at the time of birth - i.e. she would have to show marriage certificate to authorities. Work could terminate her because she's on single status contract etc. what is the relation of her contract to her situation now?
3) If the contract can be altered then could she sponsor me as her husband so I can move there for work. Wife cannot sponsor a husband
4) If the contract can be altered how long will it take. How to alter? this is the first time I heard this things here
5) If the contract can be altered can we apply for a family visa so I can stay for more than one month. Wife cannot sponsor a husband and as what I have written above, if you dont have a valid RP here, you cannot marry your GF
If she will face some medical issues here and need to be hospitalized it will be a big problem for her since the hospital itself will directly inform the police which she will be jailed and subject for deportation. Dont waste time, let her pack her things and go home and dont ever think think about abortion, you both did it, so face all the consequences and be responsible
Big dilema time - any help really appreciated....
