Kuwaiti Sponsor Jerked Me

18 years ago

Hello Expats, heres the deal. Back in November i came to Kuwait for an Interview and landed a Job. My sponsor told me i'd start work in December 1st. Left my job at the time and awaited my sponsor to send Visa. Unfortunately he jerked me and told me my contract was not ready due to delays. I tried going back to Intel Corporation (the co. i used to work for) and unfortunately they told me that my position had already been filled. So i couldnt go back.

In january my Sponsor had sent me my Visa by email and told me to come Mid February. Mid feb i came to Kuwait (2 weeks ago).

At the airport they asked me for the original Copy of the visa. So i called my boss and he did not pick up. Since i'm american they let me go. The next day i called my sponsor and he told me that there are still delays with my contract. Now i'm jobless, in kuwait and looking for jobs. I sent my CV to KBR, Halliburton, PWC Logistic, MTC, Schlumberger, Wataniya, Kuwait Recruitment Bureau amongst 200 other companies with no luck.

I'm getting frustrated. I've been home for the past 4 months, in Kuwait now with 2 weeks left till my Visa Expires.

Looking for a Job. Please help.
