Thank you for your responses.

It has now been over 3 months and is getting very frustrating! I am being kicked out of my current job because they can no longer afford to keep me here any longer.

3 months for an entry visa and still counting! I can only imagine what more things I have to do before they will fly me to Qatar.

Is this normal? Every story I hear, it seems the maximum one has to wait is 4 weeks for an entry visa!
