Q: Dear Sir, I have a loan cheque bounce case. The visa is also going to expire the coming May 1st. Is the renewal affected by the case? Please advise me.

Q: There was a case filed against me in Muraqabat Police Station for bouncing cheque. I was not able to pay my loan for more than 4 months as I lost my job and unable to pay. I informed the bank and negotiated with them, but they want me to pay at least half of the loan amount. My problem now is that I got a job offer but my new employer cannot issue an employment visa for me as I am in the blacklist status. My previous employer also cannot cancel my visa, they were able to cancel my labour card and already beyond the grace period of 30 days. My previous employer told me that they will present my passport to the visa section and file an absconding case against me. Please advise if they can really push filing an absconding case against me? What shall I do regarding the bounced cheque so that my new employer can process an employment visa for me?

Q: Can someone renew his residency visa if a civil case is filed against him? I had a criminal case last year (June 2018) due to bounced cheque (credit card issue). I have not paid the fine yet of AED 10,000. My visa renewal is due on May 2019. I don't know if the bank has filed a civil case already.

Q: My company trade license is about to expire. They need to cancel my visa but I am worried because I have a police case because of rental dispute bounced cheques. Will that affect and reflect when our PRO cancels my visa under Trakhees?
