Q: Hi,
A friend of mine (Now In India) applied for a job in a UAE company and he received the offer letter. He also submitted a signed JOC (Job offer certificate) before one month, but still did not receive the employment visa.
When I called the Company HR department, he told me that the visa is under process and the current status is under security approval.
My question is what's the security approval and how many days does it take for security approval? And when will he receive the visa?

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?
