family visit visa extension - different sponsor

Hi everyone! My mother in law came here last September 10 on a family visit visa. After we received her medical result, we went to immigration hamad branch and found out that we can only extend it for 3 months maximum, and not 6 months (so we did and she has to stay here til dec 10 only). The staff told us that it is probably because my husband's salary is less than 7500. She asked us to try again before its expiry...Do u think they will approve another 3 months (i am receiving higher salary, will they take that into consideration)

Just in case it will not be approved, can my mother in law extend her visit visa under another sponsor (her brother)? She wants to stay for atleast another 3 months as I just gave birth and she loves to take care of her 1st grandson.
If yes, does she need to exit qatar first?

but is it still possible to extend it for another 3 months? because as far as I know visit visa duration is up to 6 months maximum..don't know why according to immigration staff in hamad, her visa is up to 3 months only...
