Immigration ban for a domestic helper
22
Q: Hello,
I was a maid in Abu Dhabi and I did not finish the probation period. I got sick, refused the job and my sponsor cancelled three months visa.
Now my retina was taken, my name put in the computer and at first, the immigration said I have a one-year ban. Then after some time, he said to never come back.
I don't know what my sponsor told the immigration, what kind of ban is this and if I have any false accusations.

س: السلام عليكم،
اتفق معي صاحب العمل علي أن أعمل مديرًا في المنشأة، ولكن بعد الإمضاء على العقد وعمل الإقامة، اتضح أن العمل غير مناسب لسني رغم أني عمري 46 عامًا وأبذل مجهودًا كبيرًا رغم معاملته لي بأسلوب لا أرضى عنه ويطالبني بمصاريف الإقامة.
هل إذا أعطيته مصاريف الإقامة يصدر حرمان ضدي؟
أرجو الإفادة سيادة المستشار!

View allDisputing tenant's refusal to accept old landlord's rent increase notice 0
Hi,
We recently bought a villa in Dubai. We are looking for an advocate for legal advice.
Even though the old owner gave the tenant a 90-day notice about the new rent, the tenant is not agreeing to the notice because it didn't come from us.
Since the renewal is in October and we bought the property in September, we don't have 90 days to notify the tenant of the new rent.
The tenant agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner 90 days ago. Can we dispute this?

We had an accident. Can I claim the treatment costs paid to hospital from the insurance? 0
My family and I had an accident. The incident occurred the very next day of their arrival in the UAE on a residence entry permit and their visa//health insurance was still in process.
With gods grace, everyone was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day after many tests and keeping us under observation. We were slapped with a hefty bill as my family was not holding any health insurance.
What are the chances that I could claim the medical expenses through the vehicle insurance, as it covers co-passengers as well?

What can I do if a company hired me then changed their mind? 0
I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me.
After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me.
I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions.
The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money.
Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.
