How to remove a wrongful absconding case and travel back home?
Hello Madam
Hopefully, it’s a beautiful morning over there. I would like to know how to help my sister who’s stuck there in the UAE over absconding from work.
It was a family emergency whereby the employer accepted her to travel back to Uganda, unfortunately, the pandemic had started.
On reaching the airport, she had some missing paperwork to travel related to COVID-19 tried to reach her boss but he couldn’t help her.
So she tried to reach out to her friend. But when she tried to get the full paperwork, her employer had filed an absconding case on her visa and she couldn’t travel back home.
Dear Questioner,
Please ask your sister to go to the Ministry of Labor directly and furnish the evidence to show that she was in touch with the employer and she was preparing to travel with the permission of the employer.
If the ministry is convinced, they will take immediate steps to lift the absconding complaint.
Regards,
Rajasree Ravivarma
