Claiming unpaid salaries and entitlements and cancelling visa
Sir,
I am working with a construction company in Dubai. I have served my 1.6 years under unlimited contract. I have got a Job Offer from another employer.
I also want to leave my current employer as they didn’t pay us more than 04 months salary and didn’t allow me to go on annual leave. I resigned, and after serving of my 30 days’ notice period, the manager is not cancelling my visa.
First I belong to a poor family; it will take too much time to get another job whenever they will cancel my visa. Another employer gave me 45 days’ time to join, otherwise, the candidature will be cancelled.
Second, my marriage will take place after 5 months and I will be jobless that time, marriage can be cancelled, now my mind has stuck.
If I will go through legal, it is not sure that the Ministry will arrange my visa cancellation within 1-2 weeks. It can be 1-2 months via legal as I know our PRO, he uses some strategy and can extend the case up-to 2 months.
Now it is the suicide condition for me.
Please suggest.
Dear questioner,
There is no way to speed up legal proceedings because it is all written down and fixed by the law.
Your attention to it makes it for sure accurate and to go on time, so I advise you to keep a very close follow up on your case until your visa is cancelled.
Meanwhile, once you start your complaint you can submit a request to the court to allow you to work in the other company and to have your passport with you and be free to travel for your marriage or free to move normally.
You are not in a very bad situation as it may seem if you stop working after serving the legal notice and join the new company after getting the relevant approval from the court that should not need more than 1 or 2 weeks max.
