i have read most of the comments here regarding sponsorships,, i myself is currently in the situation as to everyone might have been experiencing.. been here twice, on different sponsor for a span of only 1 year,,the 1st employer was having problem with his company so i was to go back home to my country and wait it out,, 2nd opportunity arrives and promises good deals on the contract..good salary with free accomodation and others,, so i arrived just last year of august.. for the first month my employer ask me to stay with my brother here in doha just for awhile as they "were" fixing some things.. as to being considerate we agreed,,but months have past and up to now no work or anthing have been provided for me that complies with the contract,,legal things are already taking measures,, as to my sponsor he is not aware of what the employer is doing with his business.. and we cannot do anything because my passport is with my employer, skilled employees like most of us sometimes fall for unexpected circumstances,,as for now we are still waiting and searching for my employer for he is not complying. legal actions also took place but as we all know,, it will take time as they say. i came here to earn and work,, not to be treated like they are always in control..i hope i can make it through this ordeal..
