Can an employer revoke what is offered in the termination letter?
Q: Dear sir/madam, My employer mentioned what they owe me in my termination. Later, after they fired me and I filed a court case, they sent me another letter telling me if I don’t sign the visa cancellation letter by 2 pm, the amount (which was already mentioned in my termination letter as part of our contractual agreement) will not be paid to me. This is a small local company and I understand that “without prejudice” is not recognized by the UAE labor law. I, therefore, wonder why they labeled it as such. Signing the visa cancellation document mean I had to (falsely) confirm that I received all my dues and that I would waive all my legal rights in bringing a claim. Therefore, I didn’t sign. Question 1: Are they allowed to revoke what they already offered in the termination letter, after they fired me? Question 2: Is it legal to make the payment of one’s dues subject to signing the visa cancellation? (Can you think why they made it “without prejudice”?) Questions & Answers

I have received a job offer from a company in Fujairah. How to know if it's real?
Q: I have received a letter of appointment from a company in Fujairah via mail without any interview, neither personal nor telephonic. The selection has been based on my CV posted in one of the leading job portals in India and I am based in Bangalore, India. The company has asked me to contact a Travel Agency in Dubai for processing my work/residence permit visa. Accordingly, when I contacted him via mail he says that I need to pay US $ 1850/- to process my papers or send him US $ 2950/- to process my and my family`s visa papers in the UAE. After going through the advice given on this portal, I find this is also a fake one. Can somebody advise me in this regard at the earliest? Questions & Answers

Can I file a case against an immigration consultant for not doing any action?
Q: I have submitted my immigration documents to a consultant company in Dubai for Canada under a working visa. They committed that the process takes months but they have not yet processed it. I asked for a refund. But they said it will not refund as it is a voluntary withdrawal within the process which is written in the contract. However, I keep reminding them the process for Candan has not yet started. In the beginning, they said that once I submitted my IELTS certificate, they will start to find a job offer in the market of Canada. But I did not submit the IELTS certificate. And they never approached me about this. They keep making false promises they will check and will fund soon. I Have asked several times to connect me with the higher authorities to resolve my issue but no cooperation from their end. I have paid 6000 DHS so far. I need to know if I can claim all my money back legally. How can I make them fulfill their commitment without me bearing any loss? Questions & Answers
