Cancellation of visa while having a case in labor court
Q: My current company did not pay for 6 months, so I have resigned and completed the notice period. They did not even pay the settlement. I have filed a case and the first hearing will be on 17 July. I have an offer from a company and they don`t want to wait for the court verdict. My question: is there any way to cancel the visa as the case is already there? I have checked with my company but they want me to sign off the settlement paper that I have received all my settlement. Please tell me if there is any other solution in this situation about visa cancellation.

Claiming back the custody of children by husband
Q: Dear, I have been recently divorced in Abu Dhabi. My ex-wife converted to Islam in order to get a sharia divorce, though during our marriage she`s always been a Christian. She has gained custody of the children, I had guardianship. As I had no employment in the UAE, end of March, I had to return to Belgium. Since then she has blocked any contact with my 2 boys. This weekend, I found out she is pregnant and is living with her boyfriend and my children in our flat (we own it) in Abu Dhabi. On top of that, she has stolen most of my belongings (family souvenirs, all my photography equipment). I want to know what I could be doing, being in Belgium right now. I want to get my kids, I don`t want her to get away with being pregnant, unmarried (she made me suffer and accused me of many lies). Her law firm is Al Rowaad!Jul 2, 2018

Termination of a limited contract for pending salaries
Q: Hi, Location: UAQ Company: Construction Company LLC Limited Contract duration: 2 years Completed: 1 year and 3 months My contract is limited, and I want to cancel it due to pending salaries. My employer discussed more salary with me, but on the labour contract wrote less salary and didn`t tell me anything. He just asked to put finger thumb. He transfers salary in UAE Exchange from the start and same salary we discussed. But now, he is creating an issue of pending salaries and insulting me if I ask about salary. I saw my contract when I faced this issue and shocked to see only 1500 AED salary and not any other amount on the limited contract. On the company contract, he mentioned the same salary as we discussed. Now I want to get my pending salaries and change my company and cancel my old employer visa and contract.Jul 2, 2018

Checking a possible case or a ban for bad comment about the boss
Q: Dear Mr Ahmed, I just want to ask about a case where I just only gave one bad comment about my x-boss. My case was at CID, it`s solved and I was forgiven by my boss after I apologized. He took the case back and all was cleared without any fine or ban. I got a new job and I just want to know if my new employment visa will be rejected due to this. Now, my HR says it`s in the process. My case in the UAE was closed and the claimant withdrew it already. Please let me know, I am worried.Jul 2, 2018
