Cancellation of sponsor and dependent visa when there is a case
7
Q: Hi.
My wife has a travel ban due to the non-payment of a loan. She is sponsored by me and her visa is valid until the end of January 2019.
My visa is expiring in December 2018 and I need to cancel my visa so that I can cancel my trade license, but in order to do that, I need to cancel my wife's visa.
Since she has a case against her, that probably will not be possible. What is the solution for this predicament?
My wife is not in the country at the moment. Can my visa renewal be affected due to this?
Thanks

The cancellation of wife's visa upon canceling husband's visa

1
Q: Good day,
When we left Dubai a few years ago, we did not get exit permits before leaving and have not been back since that time.
I did resign from my job before leaving and I have proof that the company did cancel my visa after leaving. I also closed all accounts and paid all debts before leaving.
I sponsored my wife as "housewife not allowed to work". To my understanding, her visa would have automatically canceled when the company canceled mine. She never worked and never had any loans, accounts, etc.
Is there any risk or problem we might experience if we want to transit through Dubai or visit Dubai again because we did not cancel her visa and didn't get exit permits before leaving?
Thank you!

0
Q: We are Muslims and I'm married 8 years ago and I have two children; a 5-year old daughter and a 2-year old son. We are still living together.
Due to my financial situation, I decided to go back to my home country but my wife's family is not allowing her to leave or take the children with me. Her family keeps on interfering in my family's life and turning her against me.
Going back to the country means I want to give my children a good education, a professional life, and a better future.
In this situation, what I can do?
I can't leave my family here and go without my children.

Procedure to be followed while changing visa to another employer
4
Q: My husband is under my visa (wife's visa). He found a job and the company is going to give him an employment visa.
Does he need to cancel his current visa in order to proceed for the company’s visa or just do the labour permit and give the No Objection letter?
And if he really needs to cancel his current visa, does it affect also his medical insurance or he can still continue using it even if his visa is will be under the company’s visa?
Thank you so much.

Q: My wife who was on my personal residence visa as a "housewife" left due to personal differences and now, without canceling the visa from my end, she got a working/residence visa from a school.
I would like to know is it legal for any organization/school to cancel my personal visa without canceling it and without NOC from my end?
If it is illegal, then what are the legal consequences for her and the company which hired her without my consent for cancellation.
Thanks!

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.
