Q: I recently did an online degree from a university in the USA. All the documents were verified and attested which took almost 2 years. Now only MoHE found out that the university is not on their list of accredited universities here in the UAE and now the document needs to be registered at a different university in the USA.
That will cost me a lot of money which I don't have. They said if I don't I will go to jail. I need some advice, please.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have an original degree. I want a visa. My company boss asked me about the degree; I said I have it and gave it to him. He sent it to Pakistan for MOFA testing.
However, when the boss submitted it here in Dubai, they claimed it had a fake stamp, and now they have blocked me. I have a criminal case now.
Can you please guide me on how long the court will take and whether they will arrest me or not?
The degree is original with Pakistani stamps, HSC, and all, only the UAE stamp is fake.

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
