How to remove a ban upon the issuance of a new law?

Dear sir/madam,

I was born and brought up in the UAE and lived there for 18 years. My family owns 2 properties and a business in Sharjah and Dubai. In 2017, I was deported for a mistake I made because of a bad influence, and my future was ruined.

It was a genuine mistake of using illegal substances (Marijuana) in Sharjah. While I was imprisoned in Sharjah, I did not get any proper representation or chance to speak to a lawyer or the judge and was directly deported on a special pardon in October 2017.

My parents have tried removing the ban from MOI Abu Dhabi with a special pardon but have got rejected every time and now we lost hope and ask you to help in this situation.

I have not done any criminal activity or illegal activity before this. My records are clean. I really wish to get back to my family. Please help me in removing the ban. I have recently heard of the new law which has been imposed since January 2022 with no mandatory deportation.

Will this help my case in any way?

Dear questioner,

The new law will not be applied in your case since you have been deported a long time back, however, you can still file a mercy petition; it might get considered.

Thank you for your response, Ms. Shamsa!

How and where do I submit the petition? Can you help with the process?

We can certainly file the mercy petition on your behalf in Sharjah, but we will need the case no. and the POA from you.

The mercy petition has to be filed only in Sharjah.
