Absconding case

An absconding case is for those employees who do not inform their employer when they leave or who did not return back to work. But my case was different, I informed my employer regarding the accident which happened to me here in my country Philippines.

I submitted all legal medical documents to support my extension of vacation leave. I was shocked when the office replied I'm no longer have a chance to go back to the UAE cause they have already filed an absconding case against me.

Please, sir, help me for this. It's not fair to me. Thank you very much for your kindness.

Dear Questioner,

Your Employer cannot file the absconding case and cancel your visa before the lapse of 6 months from the date you exit the UAE.

Can you please elaborate how long have you been out of the country?

Sir, thank you so much for the reply.

My situation was different to those employees who did not return to work to their employer.

I was on vacation leave for three (3) months legally approved by the g4's office. During that period, three days after my arrival here in my country Philippines I was accidentally hit by a ten-wheeler truck that caused me severe injury. My doctor's finding was SPINAL CHORD INJURY.

During my three months period, I informed the office regarding the accident which happened and after that, they advised me to send legal authentic documents (medical documents) to my employer to support my extension of vacation leave and they approved it. I don't have any idea how many months they allow to extend my leave.

After 7 months of my stay here in the Philippines including 6 months legal vacation, I called the office to inform them that I'm ready to go back to the UAE for a work but unexpectedly they replied me that I no longer have a chance to go back to the UAE cause they have filed already absconding case.

I asked them why and how
