Checking a travel ban or lawsuit online in case of bounced cheque
7
Q: Can I check if I have a travel ban, and where?
I am going on vacation next month, and I just want to make sure that there will be no problem at the airport before I go.
It happened that the cheque I issued for the real estate had bounced because of delayed payment, but it had been settled already.
I just want to make sure that there are no open cases against me, although I haven't been notified of any.
Thank you.

Checking possible cases after defaulting on bank obligations

1
Q: Hi
I have defaulted with the bank and they bounced my cheque last 2017. I don't know if I have a case, but last June 2019 my visa was renewed without any problem.
Does that mean I don't have any case or travel ban?
Actually, I resigned now and will have my visa cancelled this coming Oct, 1st week.
If my visa will be cancelled without any problem, does that mean also that I don't have any pending case and/or travel ban?
Please help.
Thanks

Can I claim compensation for emotional distress and pregnancy loss? 0
Good afternoon,
A gentleman insulted me severely over the phone during a delicate moment in my life when I was pregnant. He conveyed harsh messages through chat, causing me to feel sick, panicked, and scared.
Unfortunately, I lost my baby after this incident. I have reported the matter to the police and won the case, leading to the confiscation of his phone and imposition of a fine.
However, I believe I deserve compensation for the mistreatment. Can I pursue damages, and if so, what amount can I claim for my loss and damage?

Can my company make my position redundant and hire somebody else after I was terminated? 0
My company terminated my employment because it was making the position I held redundant.
I was advised that in no way was this performance-related but purely a restructuring exercise.
However, within 1 month of leaving the company, they have externally recruited another person to fill my exact position, with the same job title, that they made redundant.
Whilst I believe that this is unethical behavior, could anyone tell me if this is legal within the UAE or should I lodge a complaint for unfair dismissal?

View allIs a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?
