2
Q: Hi there,
I got deported from the UAE for failing medical but when I reached my country, I have done several medical checkups but everything is OK; HIV negative, no hepatitis B, etc.
I don't know if there was a mistake or a misfortune for me. I am wondering if they can allow me to come back to Dubai.

Wrongfully accused of assault. How to prove innocence?

1
Q: Greetings,
In 2018, I was wrongfully accused of assault. My colleague got into a fight with a local man outside of a restaurant. I never got involved but was somehow accused of assaulting this person.
When I spoke to the prosecutor, I mentioned that there were several CCTV cameras that would prove that I never assaulted anybody but was told that "the CCTV cameras weren't working on that day".
I was jailed for 20 Days, released on bail, and left the UAE without going to court in fear for my life. I recently requested my records which indicate an arrest warrant, 20,000 AED fine, 2 months in Jail, and a deportation order.
I understand that the best way to have this settled is to file an appeal and appear before the judge. My biggest concern is what happens once I arrive in the UAE for the appeal.
Will I be arrested and jailed again and potentially in a worse situation than before?
I really would like to finally get this properly resolved so if anyone has any suggestions, I would love some advice.
Thanks!

Q: There was a criminal complaint made against me and my husband and both of our passports were held by the public prosecution. After 8 months of investigations, the public prosecution has now only charged my husband and has released my passport.
Can I open a case against the complainant for the harassment that I faced for 8 long months and mental trauma that I went through?
My request for releasing my passport by substituting someone else's was also rejected 4 times without giving any reason within this period and I could not travel even though my child and my mom were unwell.

Can the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest? 0
Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.

My previous organization has not yet released EOSB because I contacted a client. Is this legal? 0
I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits.
The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients.
In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service.
Is this legal? What are my rights?

How to file a case against my former company for unpaid salary I was not on their visa? 0
Dear Legal Advice Middle East,
I hope you are well.
I am seeking legal advice regarding an unpaid salary issue with my former employer, [-----]2 LLC. I was employed with them from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, on a monthly salary of 5,000 AED.
However, I only received a partial payment of 2,473 AED on February 24, 2025. The remaining 2,527 AED is still unpaid.
I submitted a complaint to MOHRE on March 2, 2025, but I am unable to proceed further through their official channels.
This is because I was working under the visa of my previous employer, [---] LLC, and not under [----]’s sponsorship.
As a result, I do not meet the criteria to file a labor complaint via the MOHRE app or hotline.
Given this situation, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can legally pursue the recovery of my remaining salary, considering the complications related to my visa status during the employment.
