Questions & Answers
Absconding status withdrawn from labor court, not from immigration. What next?
Dear Sir/Madam,
My employer put an absconding case against me in labor court. I won the labor case in court and requested for the withdrawal of the absconding status in the labor court, which was approved.
However, my employer also filed an absconding case against me with immigration authorities.
I received an email stating that an "Issued Outpass" has been approved and a document "Temporary Closure with Absconding" has been issued, giving me only 7 days to leave the country.
What do I need to do? Is this outpass still valid even though my absconding status has been lifted in labor court?
Will I be deported because of this outpass?
Dear questioner,
We need to get more details of the matter and also after that, we need to file a request to withdraw the outpass with MOHRE and immigration authority.

Dear Questioner,
Thanks for your enquiry!
Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, it is important to consult with us as a legal professional in the UAE for specific advice on your situation.
However, generally speaking, if your absconding case has been lifted in the labour court, it should also be lifted in immigration.
You may need to provide proof of the court decision to immigration in order to have the outpass cancelled.
If you do not leave the country within the 7 days given, you may face deportation.
It is important to follow up with your employer and immigration to ensure that the outpass is cancelled and your legal status in the country is resolved.
Please feel free to contact us via phone or email.
Greetings,
