Cancellation and transfer of daughter's visa through a POA

Q: Dear Mr Sherif, Hoping this message finds you well. I would highly appreciate your advice regarding the possibility to cancel the residency visa of my daughter (17 y/o and 7 months) from father sponsorship. However, he is facing some events preventing him at this stage to come back to the UAE. Her visa expires on Feb. 2019, and most probably her father (if problems still persist) his visa shall get cancelled as well being away from the country more than 6 months (by Nov. 2018). I am having a full and general POA from my husband; would this serve to cancel her visa? Then I shall start her transfer to my sponsorship (an employee in Ajman Government), but still, I might face some difficulties. I will try to seek for humanitarian and exceptional cases, the worst case scenario I will make her a student visa through her university. Looking forward to receiving your advice regarding possibilities of cancellation with a POA. Thanking you in advance. Best regards,

Status check after leaving the UAE without visa cancellation

Q: Good day Sir, Hope is well with you. I would like to ask if Etisalat mobile company could make a travel ban on me.

I still have the plan to come back to the UAE and pay the remaining debt of my Etisalat data, but I am worried because maybe they will stop me in Dubai immigration if they`ve already put a travel ban on me. I hope you can help me to enlighten my mind. Please respond. Thank you.
