I was able to work there in Qatar and acquired a visa,but the problem is that my middle name was mispelled. The first time I came to Qatar there were no problem, Qatar Airways visa readers in the Philippines let me board the plane. On my second time it was a problem. The visa reader of Qatar Airways in the Philippines did not let me board the plane because of the mispelled middle name. Are they authorized to retrict me from boarding? How long will it take to rectify my VISA? Please give me answer because I have to come back and go to work?

the family name in my visa was mispelled however i was not denied entry at the airport since the immigration and qatar airways personnel were verifying using my passport number. there should be no problem with you as there wasnt with me. but if you can rectify the errror it would be much better. i have to add though that i had my visa verified also by the embassy.

Yes, I'm afraid they are authorized to deny you passage if your names don't match. British Air will allow a certain number of letter (is it 7?) that aren't correct, any more and you are not considered to be the same person. I'm so sorry for your hassle.
