Cancellation of employment visa and extension of grace period
5
Q: Hi,
I have a labour case in Dubai Courts. The court has not issued a judgment yet and postponed the next hearing (date: 14 February 2019) which is beyond my visa expiry date (07 February 2019).
The company owner has not attended the first 3 hearings, Now, he is away from the country and his trade license has not been renewed for the second term.
I am unable to work somewhere else because my labour card is not cancelled. I am having a hard time now because of these issues and the court proceedings are in the 3rd month.
My family visa (2 members) expires in August 2019.
Do I need to cancel their visas before my visa expiry date or get special permission to retain their visas until expiry dates since I am having a pending labour case and applied to the court for a temporary stay order?
Please, help me. How can I cancel my visa and labour contract so that I am able to join another company and start earning a living?
Thank you

Cancellation of employment visa while a labour case is running in court

Q: Hello Sir.
I have an open labour case with Dubai Courts against my previous employer because of salary delays and final settlement dispute.
I have an offer from a new employer, and I want to know if I cancel my employment visa with my previous employer, will my labour case stay open?
Also, if I cancel my visa with my previous employer, can they force me to accept the final settlement or can I still pursue this with Dubai Courts?
Thank you

A company asks a potential employee to pay the costs of visa. Is it legal? 2
Hello,
I received an offer letter from an LLC company on 29th November 2021 asking me to be there on 30th December 2021. I'm from Cameroon, they asked me to pay for my visa, work permit, and other fees by a specific company only which they will reimburse.
No interview was made and the mail doesn't tell me from where they took my CV; it says:
The Board of Directors of (Company) accepted and offered you an Offer of Employment to join our Company because your experience and qualifications were found successful and satisfactory. Typically the mode of your selection was based on CV Screening of information on employment datasheet/profile and work experiences once your application is screened and shortlisted (the selection stage may differ from position to position and location of employee). In this case, there is no need for further interviews.
Help me with this, please!
Thanks!
