Dear Questioner,

There are two government authorities that you can reach out to find out if you have an absconding case against you:

1. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiritisation (MOHRE), or

2. The General Directorate of Foreign Affairs (GDRFA) in your Emirate.

You have two options; the first one is to settle it with the employer to submit a request to cancel, which is the strongest solution. The second one is to submit a request to cancel it with a mercy or pardon request; it is not a strong solution to cancel, but you can try.
