I don't think he can get any visa if you are not a resident. Its too late even for residents now.

You probably should have thought about it awhile ago. Saudi Arabia has a quota for different contries they allow in for Haj. There are specific Haj Service Companies who arrange the Pilgrimage. Saudi Arabia is very concerned about illegal Overstayers and this way they can somewhat keep a handle on the problem. This info is about three years old. But it probably is still somewhat true.

You obtain a Specific Haj Visa for the Pilgrimage.

Man, you are working for Qtel, and don't know how to use the phone? Call Saudi embassy and ask them. It's that easy.
