Welcome, Happy. Your contract will be completely standard and should include everything you need - housing, transportation, medical, school fees, and a competitive salary for your position in the US plus a 25% overseas bonus. Your salary will be "grossed up" to offset housing, etc., tax implications. The usual length is three years and WCMC-Q provides all the visas, etc. Your husband will be under your sponsorship and there are no negative implications with this status socially. However, if your husband finds a job and is under someone else's sponsorship and wishes to change jobs or quit he may well not get an NOC. That means that he reverts to your sponsorship and cannot work in Qatar for another two years. It will not be necessary for him to speak Arabic.
