Q: Sir,
I have worked in the UAE for 6 months (Aug' 2006 to Dec' 2006) and due to my family problem, I didn't cancel my residence visa (Sharjah Saif Zone). The immigration department has imposed a ban on me.
I have got the NOC from my ex-employer in the UAE for the same. Kindly help me to know how to remove my immigration ban.
Regards,
Kanwaljeet Singh

An employer makes up a story to cause problems to an ex-employee
6
Q: My ex-employer filed a case against me that I owe the company 30k AED which is just a made-up story.
I filed a case against his company for not giving the correct amount of my gratuity pay and I won the case in the court. Now after the decision, he made up a complaint that I owe them 30k AED which is not true.
Now my question is: can I also complain against my ex-employer for making up a story that I owe him 30k AED and doing this to me as harassment?
What case can I file against him?
Thank you for your answer, sir!

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 0
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!
