By NOC she means that her father has no objection that she works for a company. This NOC is required from the sponsor, in this case, her father. Even wife under husband's sponsorship has to provide NOC from the husband to be able to work legally.

As far as I know, it is only your sponsor who may hold your passport. You could say to your employer that your father as your sponsor will not relinquish your passport to him. But since you are speaking of an NOC does this imply that your sponsorship would be transferred? In that case your employer might ask to hold your passport if he is your new sponsor.

Your passport must be with you. They should not keep it with them. The very fact that you are under your dad's sponsorship does not give them any rights to keep your passport. You don't even have to ask their permit if you want to go out of Doha.

I am under my company sponsorship but my passport is with me.
