Can an outpass affect my Dubai police clearance for a UK visa application?



3
Q: Good evening, everyone!
I left Dubai in January 2023, and I am currently in the process of applying for a UK visa. I was asked to provide a Dubai police clearance certificate, which I did.
However, I recently found out that the Dubai police clearance certificate I provided has been canceled.
I have no prior cases against me in Dubai, so I'm wondering if the cancellation is related to the outpass I obtained to leave the country.
Can an outpass prevent me from obtaining a Dubai police clearance certificate?
I only have a few days left to respond to UKvi.

I left Dubai on an outpass. Do I have a travel ban?




7
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have lived in Dubai for 5 years. I left Dubai in November this year on an outpass to return to London, UK, for a family emergency.
I owe 15,000 AED for overstaying fines, which I plan to pay when I return in January 2024. I still have a valid Emirates ID. How do I go about this?
I was told that I may have a possible ban. Is this true, or is there a process around this?
Can I pay my fine on re-entry at DXB, or can a lawyer efficiently sort out this process as I need to return to Dubai next month in January?

How can I modify the custody agreement and enforce my parental rights? 0
As-Salaam-Alaikum everyone,
Please advise me on where I can find an affordable family lawyer. I'm only earning less than 5k AED monthly.
I really want to apply for modification of the agreement for my 3-year-old daughter, but my ex-wife is not responding or cooperating, assuming she wants to retain the current agreement for 3 hours per week.
I want to enforce my role as a guardian of my child and modify the agreement for more time and to be more included in the decision-making for her well-being.

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?
