Cancellation of sponsor and dependent visa when there is a case
Q: Hi. My wife has a travel ban due to the non-payment of a loan. She is sponsored by me and her visa is valid until the end of January 2019. My visa is expiring in December 2018 and I need to cancel my visa so that I can cancel my trade license, but in order to do that, I need to cancel my wife`s visa. Since she has a case against her, that probably will not be possible. What is the solution for this predicament? My wife is not in the country at the moment. Can my visa renewal be affected due to this? Thanks

Filing a bounced cheque case for debt recovery
Q: Hello Sir My query is I have a cheque of AED 154000 and the contract made between us for this cheque is also available. Now the person who gave me the cheque is not paying and asking for time. Should I get his cheque bounced? And if I file a civil case, how much % I have chances to get this money? He has 2 more companies which are doing quite well. Suppose he comes out on bail, is my cheque valid? I heard if he completes a jail term, then he is not liable to pay this cheque.Nov 29, 2018
