Thanks for the response QS.

Just had an update so that changes things somewhat. I need to send all my documents (mainly Qualification Certificates ) and get these attested by the Home Office in the UK and then confirmed by the QE in UK.

Once that is done, I then send a copy of that bundle to the employer in Qatar who then apply for my visa. So the info I was first given was a bit duff.

This seems to make more sense, handing all the stuff back to the employer in Qatar and letting them take over the visa issue.

Cheers.
