How to remove absconding case and reduce overstay fines in agreement with employer?

Hello Team

I have an absconding case on which I have already managed with my sponsor due to not leaving the country, however, they have requested to pay them a penalty to remove the case which I did but now I have overstay fines.

So I went to them again after paying the fines for removing the absconding as they have advised me to proceed with removing the absconding case that I will have to clear my overstay fines first.

So they gave me a copy of the NOC that there is no objection in removing the absconding from immigration and applying for a waiver.

My question is, will my petition to discount waiver be accepted even though I do have an absconding case on me and will this NOC work or not?

I also have several reasons for overstaying as there weren’t flights back then when Covid was at the high peak and I had my passport getting renewed which I also have a letter from the embassy stating that.

Dear Questioner,

You need to withdraw your absconding case first, you have to visit immigration along with your new offer letter issued by the ministry of labor and NOC letter from your old company.

Then only you can apply for the reduction of fines.

Thank you so much for responding.

But my sponsor said that they can’t take any further action in removing my absconding case unless my fines are sorted.

Is this actually legal or not?

And will Amer immigration accept reducing my fines and pay them?

And if I showed them the NOC that I have from my sponsor, will this work?

I also have an email from my sponsor saying that they can’t remove my absconding case until the fines are paid. Can I show this to them as well?
