Q: Good day Sir,
My wife worked as a housemaid back in 2007 and ran away from the sponsor. She stayed in the UAE for the last two years illegally and in 2010 she surrendered to police and got deported.
Now I want to know if she can enter the UAE as a wife and I can legally be her sponsor.

How to remove a name from immigration blacklist

Q: Good evening, sir!
I am Filipino. I got deported last Friday (Oct/18) due to my nine-day overstay and got deported to the Philippines.
After my cancellation from my previous company (Sept/5), I found a recruitment agency that wanted to hire me as a shadow teacher for special needs and promised to process my visa so they took my passport.
But they just kept my passport and didn't process my visa until I became overstay. Last Sunday (Oct/13), I was caught by the CID on the bus and they directly put me in jail.
The next morning, they brought me to Um Al Queen Emigration and took the eye scan. I was trying to explain my side but they didn't listen. I didn't get any justice. I'm just a victim of the company which didn't keep its words.
I still believe that there is someone who can help me to fix my problem and come back again to the UAE.

I secured a mortgage from the bank and the broker kept delaying until the MOU expired. What to do? 0
Hi,
I need some guidance regarding a property transaction that is not progressing as expected.
My broker initiated a manual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between me (the Buyer) and the Seller, with an expiry date of 01/02/2025. Within this period, I successfully arranged the bank mortgage, property evaluation, and NOC.
However, the broker started giving excuses, such as the seller being hospitalized. Later, the broker attempted to arrange a Power of Attorney (POA).
However, after that, they started ignoring my messages and calls. It now seems like they no longer intend to proceed with me, and the MOU has already expired.
Meanwhile, my bank EMI has already started, and I have paid two monthly installments. The broker is still unresponsive. I have raised multiple complaints through DLD RVS against the broker, but the response has been very slow and unsatisfactory.
I’m feeling stuck and financially burdened.
Please advise

What can I do with the contractor I paid to build my house and disappeared before completion? 0
Hey,
I'm building my house in Dubai, and it was going well.
I gave the contractor 420k as a first payment, and we both agreed that the rest would be in installments. Just two months ago, the contractor went off the grid, and I can't find him.
All I have is a security cheque that bounced back when I went to the bank, as the signature doesn't match what's in the file.
However, I learnt that he does have money, but not the amount that's in the cheque.
What should I do now to get my money back?
I need advice.
