Obtaining police clearance certificate for immigration purpose
3
Q: Hi
I'm S. a Nepalese citizen.
I'm working as a security guard in a company in Dubai and I already completed 2 years and still working.
Now, I want to go to Europe for work and I already did a process and got an offer letter from there. They need some paper from my side which is a police report on my passport and NOC from my company.
I need help in this because my company says they can't give NOC or release paper for work purpose. They only give NOC for visiting purpose, not for work. So, they are saying they will not give me NOC (release)!!
Can you make it clear to me and help me out of this situation, please?
Your little help can make a big change for me.

Issuing a police clearance certificate without the Emirates ID number
13
Q: I was trying to apply to get my PCC from the UAE online through the MOI app and also through the website since I live overseas, but I could not complete the application process because there is a step that asks to enter my Emirates ID number which I don’t remember.
I think the Emirate ID is a MUST to continue and complete the PCC application. I already have my fingerprints attested at the UAE Embassy. Now I don’t know where to go.
How can you get my PCC with just my passport?
Should I mail it to the UAE or have the embassy mail it for me?

Obtaining a PPC from Dubai while being abroad

Q: I want to obtain a PCC from Dubai as I was working in Dubai from 2008 and left Dubai in 2010.
I do not have the Emirates ID number with me as I understand that I can do it and for that, I need to obtain a fingerprint card from the country where I am residing.
My question is how can I obtain this card and from where?
I am in India (Delhi). Do I need to book an appointment in the UAE embassy to do that and get it attested from the embassy as well.
OR I can do this fingerprint card from elsewhere.
Kindly assist, please!

Will a PCC be issued after paying a fine for an RTA accident?




3
Q: Hello,
I was in an RTA accident about a year ago, which resulted in a police case.
I stayed in the hospital for a month and was then discharged. When I tried to go back home for recovery, I found out that there was a travel ban on my passport due to the pending case.
The court ruling was to pay a fine, which I did. The case was closed and I came back home. I am now planning to go back to the UAE to work, and the company has sent my documents for security clearance.
Will I be able to get a PCC?

How to clear a police case for a PCC from outside the UAE?

Q: Hi Sir/Madam,
I need to obtain a police clearance certificate.
I left Dubai in 2018 and was advised that I must clear a police case at Naif Police Station for bank credit (less than 10,000 AED) before I can apply for the PCC.
Since I am outside the UAE, how do I get representation and clear my issue to obtain my police clearance certificate?
Thanks!

View allThe consequences of resignation during the probation period 0
I joined a hospital as an office staff a month ago and have been working for one month. Now I am under a probation period which is for 6 months. I am on a husband's visa and did not take any facilities such as medical insurance, accommodation, or visa.
I am not comfortable with the work atmosphere and would like to resign from there.
What will be the financial and legal consequences?
I heard they normally charge 45 days salary and a ban is imposed even under probation period.
What should I do to terminate the contract?

What are the rights of employee in case of redundancy due to COVID-19? 0
I was terminated from employment in June 2021 after receiving and working 1 month's notice. I was on an unlimited contract.
I am still waiting for 2 months' salary, gratuity and leave payment which my employer accepts is due but still not paid.
I have raised a complaint with MOHRE and have the approval to go to Court. However, I was terminated as a result of the employer citing that due to COVID-19 they need to reduce salaries by 30%, letter dated 22nd Apr 2021.
As I refused to sign, I was then terminated, via a letter dated 3rd May 2021, which stated "due to restructuring", my position had become redundant.
The question is - Am I able to claim Arbitrary Dismissal for up to 3 months salary for the unfair termination?

نفقة وحضانة الأبناء في حالة الطلاق للضرر 0
السلام عليكم،
أشكركم على هذه الخدمة الجليلة ووقتكم الثمين!
رفعت زوجتي قضية طلاق للضرر في محكمة الشارقة الشرعية وخسرتها (لم يثبُت الضرر) واستأنفت و خسرت أيضًا.
الآن رفعت قضية جديدة وعيَّنت المحكمة حكَمين وأتوقع أن تكون توصيتهم بالطلاق.
سؤالي يتعلق بالأبناء، لدي ابن وابنة: الابن عمره 14 سنة و8 أشهر مقيم في الإمارات والابنة عمرها 17 سنة و5 أشهر وغير مقيمة في الإمارات وتدرس في الجامعة خارج الدولة.
أسئلتي كالتالي:
- هل للمحكمة ولاية على ابنتي بالرغم من أنها لا تملك إقامة في الإمارات؟
- هل يمكن للزوجة طلب الحضانة للابنة مع أنها تقيم في الإمارات بعيدًا عن الابنة؟
- هل في العادة تحكم المحكمة للأب بحضانة الابن فوق الـ11 سنة أم ستسأل الابن كي يختار مع مَن يقيم؟
- عند الطلاق لن يكون للأب زوجة، فهل يؤثر ذلك في حضانة الابن بالنسبة للأب؟
- ما النفقة المتوقعة إذا كان راتبي 17500 درهم شهريًا؟

View allI secured a mortgage from the bank and the broker kept delaying until the MOU expired. What to do? 0
Hi,
I need some guidance regarding a property transaction that is not progressing as expected.
My broker initiated a manual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between me (the Buyer) and the Seller, with an expiry date of 01/02/2025. Within this period, I successfully arranged the bank mortgage, property evaluation, and NOC.
However, the broker started giving excuses, such as the seller being hospitalized. Later, the broker attempted to arrange a Power of Attorney (POA).
However, after that, they started ignoring my messages and calls. It now seems like they no longer intend to proceed with me, and the MOU has already expired.
Meanwhile, my bank EMI has already started, and I have paid two monthly installments. The broker is still unresponsive. I have raised multiple complaints through DLD RVS against the broker, but the response has been very slow and unsatisfactory.
I’m feeling stuck and financially burdened.
Please advise

What can I do with the contractor I paid to build my house and disappeared before completion? 0
Hey,
I'm building my house in Dubai, and it was going well.
I gave the contractor 420k as a first payment, and we both agreed that the rest would be in installments. Just two months ago, the contractor went off the grid, and I can't find him.
All I have is a security cheque that bounced back when I went to the bank, as the signature doesn't match what's in the file.
However, I learnt that he does have money, but not the amount that's in the cheque.
What should I do now to get my money back?
I need advice.
