UAE rejection of an online GCC resident visa 
2
Q: Salam Mr Ahmed,
I am a resident of Oman for 11 years. I applied for online GCC resident visa for my husband and I, unfortunately, we got rejected 3 times since August 2017.
However it was easy for us to get the visa online before and we visited Dubai many times, almost every year.
My question is: is there any possibility to detect the problem and sort it out??
By the way, we are lecturers working in a college and holding Iraqi passports.

Getting stopped or arrested in Abu Dhabi for a debt in Oman
1
Q: Hi,
I hope you can give me advice. I worked in Oman from 2012 and had to return to South Africa in 2013 for personal reasons.
I still had a credit card, car debt, and retail debt in Oman that is not paid. My wife just got a job offer in Abu Dhabi.
If I accompany my wife to the UAE, do I stand the risk of being stopped or arrested in Abu Dhabi for my debt in Oman?
Kind Regards,

Terminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 2
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? 2
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.
