Absconding status withdrawn from labor court, not from immigration. What next?
Q: 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?Apr 4, 2024

Visa cancellation: Sign wrongful EOS or wait six months for automatic cancellation?
Q: Dear lawyers, I have a question about visa cancellation after termination and need urgent help. I got fired during probation and they told me to return everything immediately and not to serve during the notice period. So I returned to my home country before my last day of work (just 1 day earlier) due to a family emergency. After that, they settled my EOS and then initiated the visa cancellation. The EOS letter I signed at that time said "Termination Type: Termination by company". I was already out of the country at that time and they asked me to come back to UAE to cancel my visa but I didn`t. So now they said not to come back but asked me to sign a new EOS letter but this time it says "Termination Type: Out of country". If I sign this, can they put absconding on me? Can I just not sign it and wait for 6 months to get my visa canceled automatically? They do not seem to have good intentions, that`s why I need your help to ensure my rights are protected. Thanks in advance!Apr 3, 2024
