Is there any way to get a temporary entry permit to the UAE after being deported?
Q: Hello Madam, I am from Kerala, India. I had been deported from the UAE in 2005 because I absconded from my employer and worked outside. Is there any way to get an entry permit to the UAE? I am working with an oil company that has its office in Dubai and they are supposed to send me to the UAE for some training. In 2018, the company sent me there and I was sent back immediately from the airport. Please help me with some solution.

تأخير تسليم البضائع وإقامة دعوى ضد البائع
س: السلام عليكم، لدي مشكلة مع شركة في جبل علي. اشتريت منهم قطع غيار أونلاين وكان ينبغي التوصيل لدبي في خلال 3 أيام حسب الإفادة في الموقع وبناءً عليه تم الدفع أونلاين. تم تأخير التوريد إلى شهر، فألغيت عملية الشراء بإرسال إيميل وكذلك عمل شكوى في حماية المستهلك. بعد أسبوع من فحص الشكوى، أفادني المسؤول أن أتوجه للمحكمة لعدم الاختصاص. ذهبت إلى الشرطة فأفادوني بأنه خارج اختصاصهم وأن الموضوع مع حماية المستهلك! الآن مر على عملية الشراء شهرين كاملين ولا أدري كيف أتعامل وأي جهة يمكن أن تساعدني في استرجاع حقي! هل إذا رفعت قضية وكان الحكم لصالحي يتحمل البائع أتعاب المحامي ورسوم القضية أم لا؟ مبلغ الشراء (11500) درهم. شكرًا وأرجو الإفادة!

Is it possible to file a case of maintenance without a divorce?
Q: Assalam Alaikum, I am French and have 4 children, and I am 3 months pregnant. I reside in the UAE and my husband clearly stated that he is leaving for Turkey because life is less expensive than the UAE and that I will have to pay all the bills here by myself and take care of the kids as I am working here.

Client exit letter by the bank and forcing to convert currency
Q: I received an exit letter from the bank for my corporate bank account after 3years of clean and smooth relationship with the bank. We are Dubai based and in a free zone. I have 7 days to dispose of the funds which is alright but I am being told verbally that the bank would not accept to transfer the foreign currency as it is but we would need to convert them into AED. The concern is that if I do so the company will incur a huge loss. Is the bank allowed to impose the conversion of all foreign currency? What is the way out, please? Appreciate your legal advice.

The implications of reporting about domestic violence to the police
Q: We are a Muslim couple from India, married for 12 years, and have an 11-year-old daughter. We moved to the UAE in 2014. We used to have arguments that led to physical violence. There was also too much interference from my in-laws as well. I was under counseling from the Dubai foundation for women and children as I reported a domestic violence incident in 2018. I had made a medical report and Sharjah police had warned him as well. Further to all this, my husband had to go through a kidney transplant and I was taking care of him and this brought the relationship back again from the verge of divorce. We came back to Dubai after the transplant in Jan 2020. But slowly, he started changing back in the same way. He has now hit me again and my daughter called up the Helpline number for Dubai foundation. I made a medical report as per their advice again. I need to know whether I should report this to a nearby police station and what are the implications?Nov 4, 2020
