By kreshleigh •
I'm hopeless.. I've been here for 9months and i'm afraid what's gonna happen to me here.. my employer didn't process my visa and let it expired.. and gave a fake contract.. I still don't have RP or pataka.. they didn't send me to medical and finger prints' office.. and they fired me.. now they gave my passport to CID.. i still want to work here in Qatar.. can somebody help me??? :-/
THERE'S NO ONE CAN HELP YOU EXCEPT OUR PHIL. LABOUR DEPT (POLO), GO THERE IMMEDIATELY AND SEEK FOR ASSISTANCE.
What is the problem actually, they will not give your passport to CID unless you were absconding to your employer. Try to convince your employer to send you back to your country of origin as you have still chance to find a new job in Qatar.
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do than go to the embassy and seek assistance. If you are on visit visa and you overstayed, you are obliged to pay the penalty of QR200 per day of your stay, with a maximum of QR12000 only. If you have any proof that you indeed worked for the company, you need to keep all the documents that you've received from them i.e. payslip, offer letter, attendance sheet, etc. or anything that can prove that you were promised of work but your visa wasn't processed and proceed to labor dept and file for a case. Better yet, talk to any public attorney and seek guidance. The embassy is our only safe haven overseas, and staying on your friend/relatives' house will put them on risk as it is a crime here in Qatar to help overstaying people which can have them deported if found out and reported.
Nothing we can do here but pray and wish you good luck.
hello,
it seems like ur very desperate and ur concerns are very urgent. kabayan, i want to help you but I also don't know what to do... do you have other friends or ex-work mates that can help you? maybe refer you to a new employer?
all i can do for you now is pray for you and hope you get your status here fixed asap. Hang on in there and be strong, prayers can do miracles :)
