As per my PRO its not the desgination. .. we went together to the labour office and asked the reason for non approval. .. to my surprise.. the person sitting there said.. " I dont know".. and then she gave me a date of 26th of August to meet with the Captain..

I had booked tickets for my wife and my baby on the 14th August..

I wanted to prepone my meeeting with the captain and when i went to change this date on the 2nd floor... i was informed by the person sitting there asking me to bring my family on visit visa and then meet with the captain on the 26th August..

From all this i am beginning to feel really puzzled and upset at the procedures ..

My gut feeling is that no one can bring in their family in Qatar coz no one actually knows the process of the approval.. as it turns out ther is no clear law on who can bring and who cant...and as far the eligibilty is concenred as far as i know.. i am completely eligible and yet they turned me down..

Anyways.. i have decided to move with the tide and see how things turn out.. I am going to apply for a visit visa and then try the process the residence visa for my family on the 26th August after meeting with the captain. if everything goes well..

Thanks a lot guys for the help. . i shall post with the development so that people like me can read it thru this forum and learn from my experience.. ..
