How to cancel a partner expired visa while the other partner is not in the country?
2
Q: Hi there,
My mother is on a partner visa which expired on August 31, 2023. We were trying to cancel the visa but were unable to do so because:
1) The other partner is not in the country currently.
2) The trade license has not been renewed over the last year.
Will the visa automatically expire now?
Is she allowed to leave the country?
If she leaves, can she return later on another visa or a new visa?
Does she have a grace period after the expiry date of the visa?

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?
