Q: Dear Sir,
Greetings!
I am working in a construction company as a Secretary/ Front Desk Receptionist.
My visa expired on the third of May 2017, and till this date, my employer has not renewed my visa.
My Emirates ID is already expired also, and my employer keeps on telling me they don't have the money now to renew my visa, but they will renew it.
As you can see, a lot of fines has been accumulated to date and its 6 months now.
Therefore, in view of above, what action should I take in order to ensure that my visa will be renewed by my employers?
