Q: Hi,
I am an Indian and living in Dubai for the last 25 years. My son had a criminal case on document forgery and he served three months jail term then got deported from the UAE.
I am not very sure if he has been blacklisted and got a lifetime ban. The judgement states "3 months jail and deportation". Recently I checked at Sharjah Immigration and found no ban on him.
However, I'm a bit scared that he will be blocked and arrested at the airport on arrival on a tourist visa.
Could you please advise how to check with the Airport Immigration and to ensure that he has no ban and can enter the country?
Kindly revert.

Q: My father was a taxi driver in the UAE and he worked here for 7 years. One day, a passenger sat in the car and put alcohol bottles in the back of the car.
My father wasn't aware of that. He got a call from its resources that CID is following the car. He ran away and CID caught my father. They put a lifetime ban on him and was deported to country.
My question is how can we lift this type of ban?

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

How can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract? 0
Hi,
I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.
However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him.
I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature?
I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.
