Absconding status withdrawn from labor court, not from immigration.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
