2
Q: Hi,
Good day!
I want to ask for your advice about overstay.
My daughter came to the UAE on a visit visa. I asked a PRO to put my daughter under my sponsorship and paid him 4000dhs. That was 6 months ago.
Up to now, there is no visa and my daughter got blacklisted and absconded. I don't have that money to pay the penalty.
What to do?
Please help me!

View allHow can I reverse the Bitcoin scam transation if I just lost everything in a flash loan attack? 0
DeFi was going to be the future of finance, open, trustless, unstoppable. I was completely on board, planting yields like some kind of digital Johnny Appleseed.
My collateral secured with Bitcoin was humming along on my favorite lending platform, earning me passive income while I slept. In came the flash loan attack.
One moment, I had six figures securely staked; the next, my positions were liquidated at the speed of regret. My loans, my collateral, my well-thought-out portfolio, poof.
Panic came faster than an Ethereum gas spike. I scanned Twitter, hoping it was FUD. Not a chance. Smart contract compromised. Funds stolen. The protocol team acted swiftly to do something, but damage was already done.

View allCan I evict my tenant in one year to change the tiles in the whole house? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
Can I ask my tenant to vacate the premises in one year starting immediately to change the tiles in the whole house?
The property has been rented since 2017 and needs a facelift. The current contract ends in February 2024, and we are looking to send a notice of rental increase before 90 days.
However, we are sure that we want to make some changes around the house. These are not structural changes, but much-needed changes.
What is the process and eligibility?
Also, if RERA agrees, should we then renew the contract for 9 months, since the one-year notice would end in 9 months from February 2024?

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?
