jenica: it would be best to try and get your money back, after all 7,500QAR is already a big amount in php. In my opinion, you may have been scammed (praying for otherwise though). As I've said best try to get your money back, if they do not, you really haven't got much of an option, you may not even report the guy to the police. Why? Because you are also here illegally. Take care if your visa is already expired, they will charge you 200QAR penalty per day. Hope that things work out for you. God bless.

I agree you should not have bought a visa. It may lead to more problems. Why didnt you extend your original visa? What is your work experience? PM me your email address and mobile, let us see if I can have you hired depending on your experience, but the pay is not that high though

Uh-oh Kabayan! What have you done? Do you know that it is illegal to buy work visa or any other visas? You should have asked around what are the other options rather than buying a visa. There are a lot of hoax when it comes to that "processing of visas". I just hope that everything will be ok with you. Because worse comes into worst and "they" won't be able to convert it into visa, you will be paying the penalty for overstaying or hope not to get imprisoned. If you have questions to me, PM me. I have encountered victims because of that. :(
