Staying in the UAE after visa cancellation till ending the school year

3
Q: Good morning,
I've been dismissed effective the 24th of April 2020.
After working visa cancellation, I have been told that I have to leave UAE within the following 30 days, which means before the 24th of May.
My little kids are attending school, year 1 and year 6, and I would like them to continue in the same school; ending the first week of July.
Is there a way for me and my family to remain in the UAE at least till that date?
What should I do in that case?

Cancellation of employment visa and extension of grace period
5
Q: Hi,
I have a labour case in Dubai Courts. The court has not issued a judgment yet and postponed the next hearing (date: 14 February 2019) which is beyond my visa expiry date (07 February 2019).
The company owner has not attended the first 3 hearings, Now, he is away from the country and his trade license has not been renewed for the second term.
I am unable to work somewhere else because my labour card is not cancelled. I am having a hard time now because of these issues and the court proceedings are in the 3rd month.
My family visa (2 members) expires in August 2019.
Do I need to cancel their visas before my visa expiry date or get special permission to retain their visas until expiry dates since I am having a pending labour case and applied to the court for a temporary stay order?
Please, help me. How can I cancel my visa and labour contract so that I am able to join another company and start earning a living?
Thank you

What if I can't cancel my student visa after leaving to my home country?


1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I was studying in the UAE and returned to my home country before my visa expired. I had paid all the fees for my academic year in advance, and there is still one month left until my student visa expires.
I needed to return to my home country due to my injury. I am dropping out of college.
Do I need to cancel the visa, and what are the consequences if I'm unable to cancel my student visa?

How can I refund the amount of online tickets in Dubai for fraudulant misrepresentation? 0
Last Friday, I was booking tickets for the Miracle Garden on some Dubai tickets website, and on the OTP page, it showed 225 to be paid on my phone. The otp was added automatically, and I couldn't read the message properly. It turns out 4,225 got deducted from my account.
I immediately called the bank, and they said they can't reverse the transaction, fill out the dispute resolution form, etc. Even tho the transaction was in process today, the transfer shows complete.
Is there a way to get it back?
I registered an online complaint with the Central Bank and cybersecurity. I really need the money with my rent coming up, please guide me.

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones? 0
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.
How can this matter be resolved?

How long does it take for a bounced cheque case to be closed after a settlement? 0
Hello,
I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents.
It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance.
Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer?
Thanks in advance!

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards? 0
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
Thank you!

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family? 0
Good morning,
I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
Please advise!

Can my husband take our 2-year-old daughter abroad without my consent? 0
Hello,
My husband has been threatening that he will take my 2-year-old daughter to Pakistan and leave her there with his family.
He has said this several times and has confirmed to my dad that he will be taking my daughter in the coming few weeks. We are both on his sponsorship.
What are my rights in the UAE? Can my husband travel with a minor without the mother's consent? How can I stop him from taking my daughter to Pakistan? Do I have any legal standing if I am under his sponsorship?
