The impact of old TB scars on issuing a work visa
40
Q: Dear Mr ElKhatib,
I am an assistant professor working currently in the United Kingdom. I suffered pulmonary TB 15 years ago (2003) and received all necessary medications.
I have some scars in my right lung; however, I worked before in the USA, Germany, Japan, and other countries.
Now, I have an offer from a university in Abu Dhabi but still worry about accepting it because I will resign from my job in the UK.
Do these scars make me unfit? Is there any solution for this problem?
Many thanks

Staying in Dubai despite being declared medically unfit for an employment visa

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
This is the first time I have received my employment visa. However, after the medical examination, I was declared medically unfit.
Could you please advise me on what to do next so that I don't have to leave Dubai and can stay here?
Is it possible for me to undergo treatment and obtain a medical fitness certificate, which would enable me to apply for a visa again?

Sir,
Someone took a SIM on my Emirates ID and took money (AED 9000) from another person and there's a case is on me as the ID was mine, but I did not do this.
My visa is expiring in January. Is there any procedure where the police can give me the passport to renew my visa?
I had not done this fraud, what should be on my name.

Termination for non-performance without prior warnings 0
Hi!
I would like to ask for advice.
The company has terminated me last June 30, 2019. My work is a visual merchandiser and we have 16 stores across the UAE which I need to visit all in one month.
But last April and May, I have not visited some of the shops due to other important and urgent work.
The company suddenly send me a termination letter due to non-performance which I am really shocked because I didn't understand that they put non-performance if I am doing other important and urgent projects.
There is no warning letter given to me. Since I'm getting pressure from the HR, I had signed the termination letter and it was effective June 30, 2019.
But after 3 or 4 days, the company asked me to come to work for 1 month notice period July 1-31. Then they ask me to work again in August, and then until September 15. Then they terminated me.
I need your advice if there's a chance that I could complain about this to the labour and the chances of getting the correct compensation.
Thanks

Claiming the labor dues from an employer applying for liquidation 0
Hello,
Can I please request an expert view on the below issue and possible further guidance?
I would like to know if employees have filed labor complaints due to outstanding salaries, then:
1. If the employer does not give immediate cash settlement or agrees to provide personal PDCs to cover outstanding salaries&gratuities in a complaint of the labor dept., then how long process may last if it is escalated to labor court? And are the employees to continue work or stop?
2. Can employees switch visas if the issue is in labor court?
3. Can the company which is an LLC still proceed to apply for liquidation?
4. If they can, then how can salaries&gratuities be protected for the employees?
5. Should employees engage a lawyer to represent them against the owners of the company who decide to go into liquidation?
Thanks!
