Dear Client,

Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

If your visa expires while you are involved in a dispute with your employer and there's an ongoing court case, you should inform the relevant authorities about your situation.

Typically, this involves notifying the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). They can provide guidance on your legal status and options.

To avoid fines and legal complications, it's important to proactively address the issue and follow the guidance provided by the authorities.

After visa expiry, you can submit a request to the court to remove these overstay fines.

If the judge accepts, then the fine can be cleared by the verdict.
