How to deal with employment scam
Q: Me and my friend are trapped in an employment scam. One Sharjah-based manpower consultancy offered me a fake offer letter and arranged a visit visa and made us come to Sharjah. Totally he collected AED 19200 from us. We are here for more than 50 days. He sends us to some companies which are not relevant to us and claiming he had given the job but we are not accepting. We both lost our money. How can we file a complaint against him?

Legal action against a revoked job offer letter
Q: Hi, I am T. H. from Pakistan. I am a software engineer by profession. I want legal advice. When I was in Pakistan, I applied for a job in the UAE online. A private company sent me an offer letter after online test and interview. At that time, they wanted to send me a work visa but at the same time, I already have a visit visa for the UAE, so I explained to them that I already have visit visa. They advised me to avail the visit visa and come to the office so to sign other documents to get ready to change my visa status to employment. I appeared in the office and then they gave me some 1 week to get accommodation near the office. Within 1 week I told them that I am ready to join, but now they are not giving me any positive answer. All these conversations are by email. What should I do now? Any advice, please?Oct 27, 2018

Checking status after leaving the UAE without proper company closure
Q: I opened a free zone company in Dubai 11 years ago. There was no trading activity and has been none since. I closed the company remotely as I was unable to travel to Dubai at the time for health reasons and completed forms necessary, had them notarized here in Europe and translated by a registered translator. All documents sent to the agent in Dubai with a POA but I was informed that they were not accepted by Dubai authorities and that I would have to travel there to close. The bank account was also closed at the time remotely. If I travel to Abu Dhabi will I face problems?

Claiming unpaid salaries and entitlements and cancelling visa
Q: Sir, I am working with a construction company in Dubai. I have served my 1.6 years under unlimited contract. I have got a Job Offer from another employer. I also want to leave my current employer as they didn’t pay us more than 04 months salary and didn’t allow me to go on annual leave. I resigned, and after serving of my 30 days’ notice period, the manager is not cancelling my visa. First I belong to a poor family; it will take too much time to get another job whenever they will cancel my visa. Another employer gave me 45 days’ time to join, otherwise, the candidature will be cancelled. Second, my marriage will take place after 5 months and I will be jobless that time, marriage can be cancelled, now my mind has stuck. If I will go through legal, it is not sure that the Ministry will arrange my visa cancellation within 1-2 weeks. It can be 1-2 months via legal as I know our PRO, he uses some strategy and can extend the case up-to 2 months. Now it is the suicide condition for me. Please suggest.Oct 26, 2018

Blogging about a restaurant and giving a negative review
Q: We are food bloggers and were invited by a restaurant to review their food. Once we arrived, the owner said she did not know of this. When we showed her the written confirmation from her husband she refused to accept it. They wasted our time and money, making us come all the way to her restaurant just to be told to get out. She was becoming hostile so my sister took out her phone to take a video of her screaming at us. But when the lady noticed the phone she attacked my sister. She pulled and scratched her very badly. She left a big mark on my sister’s arm. When the police came we were told to delete the video which we did in front of them itself. Once the police left, she threatened us that if we ever mention this to someone, post about it on Instagram, or leave a bad review on Zomato, that they will take us to court. Can she do this? I only want to write an honest review on Zomato where I explain our situation and post the pictures of my sisters arm. Or can she make a case on us?Oct 26, 2018
