Q: My mother was deported and got eye-scanned in 2010. I tried to apply for her a visit visa in 2014 but it was rejected.
She does not have any court case. I am not sure if she was permanently banned or not. Is there a way to lift the ban or blacklisting?
Thanks for your advice.

How to lift a ban based on a miscommunication?
1
Q: Hi,
I am working with a company in India as a technical specialist. Previously, I was working with the government of India with the National Informatics Centre as a scientist for over 10 years.
Currently, I am remotely working with few UAE customers; Etisalat - telecom's operations, Dubai Islamic Bank, MAF Carrefour Dubai on database architect, implementation, and database technology solutions.
Recently, last year Jan 2020, I was trying to apply for a business visa for office work, but my visa was declined with the remark "blacklisted". The issue happened in 2015. It was a miscommunication from my end when I was traveling to the USA via Abu Dabhi.
This is the first incidence that happened in my life. I had kept my bag on the wrong seat and the cabin crew asked me what is inside the bag. I said camera and VIKS balm. The cabin crew officer thought that I used the word "bomb". UAE emigration deported back me to India.
Need your help and guidance!

What legal action can a company take to recover an amount from a non-paying customer? 0
Hello,
We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date.
We would appreciate guidance on the following:
1. What legal action can we take to recover the amount?
2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)?
3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases?
4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated?
Thank you in advance for your advice!

How long does child support enforcement take, and how can I speed it up? 0
Hello,
I filed an execution order against my ex-husband to ensure he pays child support. The judge issued an order to impound his vehicles and accounts; however, this has not yet been carried out.
Could you advise on how long this process typically takes and whether there are any additional actions I can take to enforce the payment?
I would appreciate your guidance on the best course of action to ensure my ex-husband complies with the order.
Thank you for your time and assistance!

Can a landlord evict a tenant based on an email, even if the official notice was served afterward? 0
Hello,
Good day!
My landlord has sent me an eviction notice, which I received on 14 August 2024. The reasons are:
- For personal use or close relatives.
- For sale.
Now, my landlord is pressuring me to move out at the end of my contract on 30 April 2025. I am aware that the eviction notice must be served 12 months before the eviction date. In this case, the vacating date must be 14 August 2025.
For context: last year, three months before my tenancy renewal, my landlord sent me an email informing me that I had to move out on 30 April 2024. I objected, as there was no official 12-month eviction notice served through a notary public or registered mail.
Based on this, I renewed my contract at RDC for another year on the same terms.
Today, the landlord is telling me that because he informed me of his intention through email more than a year ago, he can now evict me at the end of this contract, on 30 April 2025, and not wait until the legal notice period ends on 14 August 2025.
What are my rights?
