Moving from the US - timeline?

utmanzai
By utmanzai

I am trying to estimate a realistic time-line to move to Qatar from the US to start work from the day an offer is accepted. Can you please share your experience?

Accept offer--------------------------------->Move to Qatar

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards!

Why I said Istikhara, the reason is there are some matters we think we know better but in fact we can't see the unforeseen circumstances. Allah SWT loves His people and He doesn't want His people to put in trouble. When you do istikhara it means you are asking for Allah's guidence. Now if that thing for which you are doing istikhara is good for you, all so called impossibles become possible. But if the job is not good for you down the road why to suffer at later stage, Allah SWT will make you stop there in US and it will much better for you and your family.

Why I don't foresee any issue in your case is you're moving to Qatar under same sponsor the only difference is the country. In such cases normally visas are not rejected. Just relax and pray and do your best. You'll get the job.

I did istikhara for my job b4 coming to Qatar. Alhamdolillah Allah gave me the job and I'm mashaAllah much more happier than b4. Trust Allah loves us and He will save us inshaAllah. He wants us to trust His wisdom.

Do you think Indians and Pakistani are facing visa problems both at blue and white collar level?

BTW, I sense trouble when people talk about Du'wa and Istikhara :-) Now honestly, are you sure you foresee no issue ;-)

Regards.

Just do istikhara and pray to Allah. You'll not have any problem I believe if this job is good for you and your family.

Neo, I am US permanent resident and I awaiting my US citizenship interview at the moment.... My wife and kid are US Citizens, though.... I am moving to Qatar internally within my company. My company is a US based Fortune 50 conglomerate. But the bottom-line is I expect to be traveling on a Pakistani Passport at least in the near future...

Keep in mind it may take around 4 to 6 weeks for visa approval after the job has been accepted and all required documents from your side are with employer.

These days work visas for India & Pakistan are almost impossible to get. I was lucky as my company has diplomatic status and they didn't face any problem for visa approval. If you're traveling on an american passport you won't have problem for visa approval. As far as medical is concerned I don't know why you're required to get medical exam in your country. In any case your medical will be conducted in Qatar again. In my case I didn't get any medical in my country Pakistan. The only thing that was required from my side was my Police Clearance Certificate which is these days must as prerequisites for visa processing.

What is your line of work? That may help us give you a better idea.

How ever long you think it may take, double it and that's Qatari time.

ive just read your post on time-line.

I think what i can make out is what you mean is how long will it take from accepting an offer to being mobilised out to qatar?

If im right in thinking that is what you mean,i'm at the minute waiting on a mobilising date,ive been in the same job in England now for the past 13 years,so aint used to moving jobs,never mind countrys!

Just to give you an indication,i was offered a job in qatar,with a well known company,that was the end of November, since i have had to get all the medical clearance in my own country,then send all documentation over to qatar,which took 5 days recorded delivery,then i had to email a copy of my own and my wifes passport so visas could be applied for, that was the 30th January, and still i have heard nothing, which is now quite fustrating, as i have commitments in england, but dont know if i can carry them out as i aint got a clue how long the visas are going to take,so all in all, its taken since the end of November till now just to apply for visas,and as yet,have had no clearance or given any idea of when i will be mobilised, i hope this doe'snt put you off,as everyone i've spoken to say its a great country to work in, but just have to sit back and grit your teeth while all the paper work is complete to get the go ahead,i hope this has been of sum help to you......but he who dares wins,or so they say,good luck!
