Q: I'm working in Dubai as a receptionist in a spa and CID caught us. They say it's illegal and they put us in jail and got deported after getting our eye scan and fingerprints in Al Aweer.

Q: Hello Good day. I’m from Nigeria. I used to live and work with a company in the UAE but it happens that CID came to our building to pack people that are selling alcohol, and also innocent persons, and gave us one-month jail and deportation. Please, in this case, can I still return to the UAE or not? This happened about one year and five months ago. I have been in Nigeria since then. Can I still go back to the UAE or not?

Q: Can a request for the cancellation of deportation be submitted if the accused has already been deported to his home country?
