..In case your work visa has been applied you shud cross check with your employer on the following:

1) Visa title to be appropriate to your position
2) Visa Application Number which would look like
VP 2008 001938 (VP or VQ or VL etc...&& YEAR 2005 or 2006 or 2007 &&& this Six Digit Number)
3) Visa Application Date...which as the YEAR ...could
be any date of the calender year then.

Login to the www.moi.gov.qa website, choose the English version of the site...go to Visa Application Tracking and track down if your visa is processed and ready for print or is still in the processing tray or may be it
your employer has not applied a visa for you at all :o)
