Q: I am working in Dubai and have sponsored my wife who is also working in Dubai.
Now, I have got another employment opportunity in Abu Dhabi, so I will not be able to hold my wife's visa while my new visa gets issued.
I will sponsor my wife again once I get a new visa but my question is, what will happen with her current job? Will she have to terminate the work contract because of the cancellation of visa?

Cancellation and transfer of daughter's visa through a POA
2
Q: Dear Mr Sherif,
Hoping this message finds you well.
I would highly appreciate your advice regarding the possibility to cancel the residency visa of my daughter (17 y/o and 7 months) from father sponsorship.
However, he is facing some events preventing him at this stage to come back to the UAE.
Her visa expires on Feb. 2019, and most probably her father (if problems still persist) his visa shall get cancelled as well being away from the country more than 6 months (by Nov. 2018).
I am having a full and general POA from my husband; would this serve to cancel her visa?
Then I shall start her transfer to my sponsorship (an employee in Ajman Government), but still, I might face some difficulties.
I will try to seek for humanitarian and exceptional cases, the worst case scenario I will make her a student visa through her university.
Looking forward to receiving your advice regarding possibilities of cancellation with a POA.
Thanking you in advance.
Best regards,

View allHow can I vacate my tenant if the rental agreement ends before the eviction notice deadline? 0
My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
