Q: Dear Raluca, I hope you do not mind direct outreach. I just really would appreciate it if you could answer my query. I'm sure you get a lot of messages so I promise this will only take 30 seconds to read. I lived in Dubai previously from June 2015 - Feb 2019 working for Emirates Airlines. I had an incident with Dubai Police in 2018 which was completely my fault. I paid a fine of 2000AED for not having an alcohol license which I completely accepted and paid immediately and continued to work. In 2019, I returned to the UK and I am currently trying to reapply for Etihad Airways. I wanted to ask you if my incident would come up as a red flag for my application? I appreciate this is a bit of an odd request than what I'm sure you normally get but if you could give me any guidance, I would really appreciate it. I totally understand if you are too busy to respond but even a one to two lined reply would make my day. Thank you!

Q: Hello I wonder if you can assist me. I left the UAE legitimately in 2015 with my husband as he was unwell. My husband passed away and I am looking to return to the UAE now and we have a bank account still active, although I can’t access it as the debit cards have long expired. Although I left with no debt, I just want to make sure that no interest or anything has been added to my account before I return in case by the time I have been away a debt was incurred on the account. Can you please assist? Thank you. K. J.

Q: Dear sir/madam, Somebody made a false complaint against me to the Dubai police and it passed 6 months but no news. The police said that I have a travel ban. How much time will it take?

س: مرحبًا، لدي استفسار حول صحيفة الحالة الجنائية حيث كانت لدي قضايا شيكات قديمة قبل القانون الجديد. كما تعلمون سابقًا، كانت تفتح بلاغات بالشيكات، وبسبب ترصد كمية بلاغات شيكات، أصبحت صحيفة الحالة الجنائية كلها شيكات ارتجاع أقساط بنك، وكل شيك كان مفتوح به بلاغ منفصل عن الآخرين. لهذا أرغب في محو أثرها. الطريقة رد اعتبار، ولكن بعريضة بجميع القضايا أم كل قضية على حدة؟
