Q: I left the UAE in 5/16. I had a car that was supposedly sold by my company, also as part of my leaving package all my debt (credit cards) where to be met by my company. Only recently I’ve found this not to be, they have moved the liability around. I am working in the US and need to travel to Dubai in a change-over stop. I lived there for 8 years. Will I be held at the customs on the flight transition, or I will be able to travel through? My company are not helping. Can you please help me?

Q: How many years I have to wait to lift my UAE ban?

Q: Hello, My husband and I have patched up after an extremely serious fight (which involved police and courts in 2 countries) in which he took away my Pakistani passport and my kids' foreign passports to keep us in Pakistan. Now, we are going to Africa for a vacation from Europe and we have a few hours transit in Dubai. Is it possible for my European national husband to somehow snatch my kids away legally by filing a case against me in the UAE, as he is in Dubai on a visit visa, and take them to Pakistan? Anxiously waiting for a reply. A desperate and scared mother!
