Q: What is the maximum time for a labor execution?
In my case, both the First Court & Court of Appeal ruled in my favor. The execution court started the procedure and my ex-employer did not respond.
Then the court sent messages to various banks and the government to block the licenses. It has been 3 weeks but still no progress.
How long do I have to wait?
Also, my ex-employer has again made a petition for review of the order of the Court of appeal.
What would happen next and how long do I have to wait?
Kindly advise!

False promises and hidden defects: Can you sue Dubai's top used car dealer? 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
I purchased a car from Dubai's largest second-hand dealership with full faith in their claim, on their website, that all cars on sale are thoroughly inspected and free from any material defects.
Eleven months later, I decided to sell the car privately and received a matching offer.
However, I was unable to sell it despite passing the RTA test because I discovered that the car had undergone chassis repair, with evidence that such repairs took place before the car was sold to me.
The dealership must have been fully aware of these defects when they completed the RTA registration on my behalf.
I had no doubt that the car was defective as its VIN number did not return any history of accidents. I feel extremely disappointed and let down because the car is now worth 50k less.
Could you please advise me on my legal options?

How to let my employer cancel my visa at the immigration and take another offer? 2
Dear Sir/ Mam
Pleased be informed you that after 30 days of my resignation letter, the company canceled my visa in labor but they are not canceling my visa in immigration and did not give me my passport back.
I got a job in another company. What should I do?
I called my employer and messaged him to cancel my visa in immigration but they are not responding to me. They just saw my messages and ignored me.
I go once a day to my company to talk about visa cancellation because they are not replying to my messages.
I told them to cancel my visa in immigration because they already canceled my visa in labor on 11/06/2022. They did not respond seriously to my matter.
So kindly guide me on what I should do. I shall be very thankful to you.
Best Regards
M. A.

How can I get back to the UAE after I lost job and got overdue payments? 1
I’m an Indian from Kerala. Due to the job loss and after getting in to fake company job, I’m forced to quit the UAE.
After that, my dues prolonged and I was not in a position to get back to the UAE without clearing my dues.
For the past 5 years I was totally collapsing and no good movement in my life and career. I want to come back for employment visa as I got an offer also.
Before entering the UAE, my police case has to be revoked which is in Albarsha police station and don’t have enough money for paying dues also.
My credit card outstanding is AED 17800 with a bank. Request your guidance and advice to settle my dues with small amount and revoke my police case before my visa gets stamped.
Thanks

How to remove an absconding case filed by my company that closed without notifying us? 9
I was working with a company and it was closed without giving us any notice or document. I’m still under their visa and it’s gonna expire next month.
So I contacted the ministry of labor to ask for their help and get the cancellation paper because the company closed and all the contact numbers not working.
Then the labor sent me a cancellation paper asking me to take it to immigration and get the cancellation. When I went to the immigration, they said I have an absconding case.
But I’m still on the company visa and they are the one closed everything without informing us.
What can I do to this case and how to remove absconding from my side because I didn’t do anything wrong?
