Q: A person living in Sharjah took the fake degree to the foreign office of Pakistan in Sharjah for attestation. All the attestation in Pakistan were forged, however, the foreign office in Sharjah only object the UAE embassy stamp, and handed over the person to Police. Then he was presented to the court.
Now the court orders that person to present the duplicate degree with the original stamp of UAE embassy. The problem is that the degree is fake, how can a duplicate be obtained and how the original attestation can be done?
Passport of the person is confiscated by the court. Any advice how can he be free. The person is not educated and he only did this act to obtain a good job, although the act cannot be excused whatsoever the reason was.

Fake university degrees
10
Q: Over 2 years ago I was awarded degrees from a university in the USA based on my experience. As the process continued I suspected they were fake so I tried to stop the process.
In the last 2 weeks I am receiving calls from people claiming to be from Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Education in Abu Dhabi saying I am in trouble and the call always ends up with the university demanding money to complete the attestation process. I do not want these degrees and have never used them.
If I report this to the UAE Authorities, will I get myself in trouble? I am worried.

How to update the name on the visa after changing it on the passport?

1
Q: Hello,
I am from India. I changed my first name due to personal reasons and completed all the necessary procedures (Gazette, newspaper publication), and updated my name in my passport.
I need to get my name changed on my visa (sponsored by the company).
They are asking me for the educational certificate with the new name for a managerial visa, which is not easy to get.
Another option is to get an unskilled visa which is a hassle as travel is restricted with that visa grade.
Could someone help me with what to do?
Thank you!

My husband's education certificate is rejected for being fake. What happens now?


6
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My husband and I went to MOFA to have his education certificate attested. However, they said that it is only possible to do so online. So we downloaded the application and submitted it online.
The next day, a courier came to collect the documents. After three days, my husband received only a photocopy of his certificate. We were surprised to find out that it had been rejected.
The paper said that the owner of the document must collect the original copy from MOFA Sharjah. We were terrified because we had just asked someone in the Philippines to have his documents attested.
Our question is, if we collect the documents from MOFA Sharjah, will the authorities take my husband? What are our chances here?
Obviously, if we knew the documents were fake, we would not have submitted them to be attested.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have an original degree. I want a visa. My company boss asked me about the degree; I said I have it and gave it to him. He sent it to Pakistan for MOFA testing.
However, when the boss submitted it here in Dubai, they claimed it had a fake stamp, and now they have blocked me. I have a criminal case now.
Can you please guide me on how long the court will take and whether they will arrest me or not?
The degree is original with Pakistani stamps, HSC, and all, only the UAE stamp is fake.

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
