Thank you everyone, my husband wrote to his potential employer asking them to alter his contract to give him two weeks notice and a probation period of 3 months and be responsible for his tenancy for those three months ( they had offered 2 months to allow time to find our own place) The company wrote back and said good luck in what ever you do.... so we now do not have a job. MY husband is already working his notice period in the uk......
maybe it is a good job that we found this out at this stage rather than getting to Qatar and it all going wrong.
