6
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My husband and I went to MOFA to have his education certificate attested. However, they said that it is only possible to do so online. So we downloaded the application and submitted it online.
The next day, a courier came to collect the documents. After three days, my husband received only a photocopy of his certificate. We were surprised to find out that it had been rejected.
The paper said that the owner of the document must collect the original copy from MOFA Sharjah. We were terrified because we had just asked someone in the Philippines to have his documents attested.
Our question is, if we collect the documents from MOFA Sharjah, will the authorities take my husband? What are our chances here?
Obviously, if we knew the documents were fake, we would not have submitted them to be attested.

Visa rejection without stating any reasons

Q: Dear Sir,
Last April 2018, my company applied for an employment visa for me in Sharjah. Before that, I worked in the UAE in April/2012 to April/2014.
But why they rejected my visa now, I don't know. Please Help me.

I signed an employment contract with a company and the visa was rejected. Can I seek other opportunities?


0
Q: Good day,
Pardon my lengthy question.
I had an interview on 21 December and accepted the offer letter on 26 December. The company claims to have proceeded to process my work permit with me signing the MOHRE contract on 5 January.
I have incurred costs in extending my visit visa since it expired on the 14th of January while attending work. I asked for an update on the visa situation, but they keep saying it has been rejected without giving a solid reason for rejection so we can rectify it.
A search on the MOHRE website shows the contract is there but without my signature and it's listed as "Transaction under process, unattested contract" yet I signed it.
My question is, without transparency from the employer, can I seek other opportunities?
I'm currently legally on a visit visa to avoid incurring losses.
Thank you

View allWill I be called again by the CID after closing the case in court if they arrest another suspect in the crime? 0
The case went from CID to police and from police station to public prosecution and finally from public prosecution to the court.
Is it possible that CID will call again for the same case if they detain another accused of the same crime after one month or they will add me also in the other case along with him?

How long does Dubai Prosecution take to investigate a narcotics case? 0
Dear Lawyers,
I am sharing a scenario where I would like to understand the investigation period and time. There was a narcotics case under investigation in Sharjah for 4.5 months, after which the Sharjah Public Prosecution transferred the case to Dubai Prosecution.
It has been 1 month since the case was transferred to Dubai Public Prosecution. Do you have any idea or estimate of the time they need in Dubai for the investigation?
Is there a way to meet a prosecutor directly and speak to them?

Is an eviction notice still valid without an Ejari if it's based solely on a tenancy contract? 0
Dear Lawyers,
I rented a property to an individual. During the last contract renewal, I sent a notarized eviction notice along with the contract. The contract is due to expire in 2 months, as will the notice period.
The tenant did not request an Ejari, and we did not create one. My question is, would the court eviction document still hold without an Ejari, based solely on the tenancy contract?

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do? 0
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

How can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract? 0
Hi,
I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.
However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him.
I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature?
I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.
