My Pataka ID was expired last June 7.Three months extension will end on Sept.7 (which is next week) I am following up always with our mandoop but he is always saying that our boss is not giving him money to renew our pataka (actually we r 6 employees with expired pataka) bcoz they do not have money. My question is if police will see my Pataka after Sept 7 am i going to jail... :( for being undocumented? Need ur knowledge and experience on this as i am a bit worried now.. Thnx a lot.

Unless you did a criminal act, they won't put you in jail. Just tell them it's under renewal. It's your employer's fault anyway.

You even have a 1 Month Grace Period, after which your sponsor would have to pay 10 QAR per day...
