Blocking the visa quota of a company due to sponsorship overstay
1
Q: We are a tourism company. We entered into an agreement with another company to issue them visas. They used all our quota and none of the sponsored people is leaving after the expiry of their stay.
Now, we cannot find the person in charge. Their phone numbers are not going through, and they are not replying to their WhatsApp. We have copies of the agreement, company's trade licence and Emirates ID of the person.
Can we file a breach of trust case or what can we do in this situation?
Thank you.

Mutual Termination vs Resignation 0
Is it possible to request a mutual termination of the contract from the employer?
My employer recently asked me to submit a resignation. Since it's not legal for him to do this and since I don't mind leaving the company for better opportunities, is it legal for me to request a mutual termination of contract letter?
What are the important things that should be stated in the letter?
