Thank you so MUCH... :) u've been a big help with what im going to do.. I want to clear one more thing.. Im a student on my RP and it will expire on May 2010.. Can I still go back here in Qatar after the expiry date and just pay QR 500? when should I pay QR 500 for extension of 12 months? before I go to my home country this December or when I already get back here in Qatar probably 2010? Thank you again..
