Q: Hi
I got my employment visa and already changed the status (exit/entry). I'm on a bail due to a bank loan case (now I requested to forward my case to the court).
Can I apply for visa stamping on the passport? I heard if you have a current case, you are not allowed to stamp a visa on the passport. Is it correct?
Please advise me

Criminal case and claiming passport from the police to renew visa
5
Q: Dear Madam,
I have a criminal case against me in Al Bhuhairah Police Station. I came from India on Feb 12. They stopped me in immigration and told me that I have a police case against me.
Then they took me to the police station. After that, I kept my passport at the police station and went out. Now, the problem is I went to Sharjah court on March 15 and put a request to transfer my file to the court.
But till now, they didn't transfer my file. I went to the court and police station many times but no use. Now, my visa is going to expire soon. How can I solve this problem?
Please tell me. I got selected for an interview, but without clearing the case, I wouldn't get the new visa. Please tell me if there's an option to clear the case as soon as possible. My visa expires on May 10.

View allHow to file an online defamation case from the Philippines against someone in Dubai? 0
Hello,
I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai.
I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about.
I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services.
Thank you for your time!
