Thank you @ Equin0x, i appreciate your advice and moral support..just wish that i am not in this situation because, i have virtually searched for any available job that i can lay my hands on both online and submission of CV but to no avail. However, i pray to almighty God and hope for the best out of this situation.

Review your skill set and start small, which can open up more opportunities.

One skill, at least i can identify is your communication skill, which can definitely play an important role in sorting out your issues.

After passing through the authorities and obtaining my RP, would i may have been illegal or may have broken the law. Please clarify, thanks!

Why do people get themselves in such situations. Qatar is not a goldmine for everyone. I would suggest that you cut your losses and go home to family and friends. - Good Luck!

I'm surprised no one on here has suggested that you just need to 'pray' and all your problems will be answered.

If your sponsor didn't pay you for the job he hired you to do for 5 months, then you have a legal case. If you came here without a job, you were trafficking in visas and have broken the law.

Thanks to you guys for your advice. Actually, i have requested that my sponsor should provide for my flight ticket back home but to my shock, he said he has no money for flight ticket.

You will fall into deeper trouble and will soon land yourself in debt. After all these months if you have been unsuccessful in finding a job, suggest you return home while you can still afford to buy a ticket.
