Q: My husband has sent divorce notice to India when I went on a vacation to Kerela. I did not go back to him after that. It has been 10 months since I left Dubai.
I asked him to cancel my dependent visa, but he is not responding to my calls. My visa got expired as I am out of the country for more than 6 months.
I will go and study abroad in a few months, will I have any problem with the immigration or stopovers in Dubai as he is not cancelling my visa?
Please, kindly help.

Currently, I'm staying and working in Dubai but my visa is issued from Abu Dhabi. I have submitted my Dubai tenancy contract for family visa application.
Please advise me how I can move forward with the visa process.

Getting back to Dubai after leaving without proper visa cancellation

1
Q: Hi,
I lived in Dubai for 17 years and met my British husband whilst being there and we married. 4 years later, he hit me and financially abused me so I fled to the UK with our 2 very young children.
I was not working at that time but was on his visa as a spouse. My visa was not properly canceled and it expired18 months ago. I am not on good terms at all with my ex-husband.
Am I safe to visit Dubai again? Or there will be a problem if I go there because of not canceling the visa officially and absconding with children?
We have UK court orders for divorce and the children are court-ordered to live with me.
Please advise!

Dependent's via cancellation while being abroad
6
Q: Hello,
My husband and I left Dubai in April during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are now permanently in our home country in the UK. My husband is my sponsor. My husband's visa expires middle of October.
My husband's company needs to cancel his visa (he left the company amicably), but they say that they cannot cancel it until my husband cancels my visa, however - we are out of the country.
180 days fall a few days after the official expiration of my husband's visa. What should we do?

Q: My wife who was on my personal residence visa as a "housewife" left due to personal differences and now, without canceling the visa from my end, she got a working/residence visa from a school.
I would like to know is it legal for any organization/school to cancel my personal visa without canceling it and without NOC from my end?
If it is illegal, then what are the legal consequences for her and the company which hired her without my consent for cancellation.
Thanks!

I have given NOC to my wife to start working. Can I revoke the NOC now?

1
Q: I have given NOC to my wife to start working 6 months ago and it started impacting our kids and marriage. I asked her kindly to stop working but she is not accepting it and she is being very stubborn.
She got a maid without a visa to stay with the kids while she is at work and I rejected that. Then she flew her mom on a visit visa to sit with the kids while she is working.
Now she is saying that she wants a divorce if I will ask her to stop working. Can I revoke the NOC or stop her from going to work?
She told me that she would call the police if I stopped her from going to work and I need to understand my legal situation if tried to revoke the NOC given to work. Is it possible to revoke this NOC?

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

Should the seller in Dubai hand over their tenant's security deposit to the buyer upon completing a sale?
Who is responsible for managing this process?
At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit.
He hasn’t, and the seller has not handed over the deposit.

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
