What can I do if my employment visa got rejected multiple times by CID?
Q: Hi Everyone, I have been working in the UAE since 2019. Since 31 December 2024, I have been in my home country because my visa was rejected a couple of times. After waiting for 3 months, I found a new job in the UAE, but the employer told me again that the government did not approve my visa, and that was part of the CID approval. I would like to know if I can find something to clear my issues, which would allow me again to start my work in the UAE.

I applied for immigration to Canada via an agency in Dubai without any progress. Can I claim refund?
Q: I`m looking for advice- I had applied for immigration service to Canada via an agency in Dubai, however, it`s been a few months and there is no positive reply from their end. They keep giving evasive answers, such as my job role is not coming up, or the Government has put the applications on hold, or other things which are totally different from the picture painted before availing their service. The contract mentions this about refund: "The company is eligible to provide a refund if any wrong information is provided during our advocacy while discussing the case with the consultant." My Question is- are such immigration consultancies legal in the UAE? Is it legal for them to provide such services? And am I eligible for a refund if not for damage claims (for wasting my time with their inefficient services)?

Scammed by someone I trusted. Can I file a fraud case and recover my money?
Q: Hello, I need legal advice regarding a personal financial fraud case. I was manipulated by someone I trusted, who promised to help me pay off my loans and debts. Based on these promises, I transferred a significant amount of money to him (including crypto transactions). Over time, he continued making false promises, but nothing was returned. I now have around 260,000 AED in loans and 62,000 AED in credit card expenses, which I wouldn’t have taken without his influence and pressure. I still have messages, voice notes, and transaction records as evidence. He is currently still in contact but keeps delaying and avoiding repayment. I want to: - Know if I can file a legal case for fraud and deception, - Understand if it can be treated as a criminal matter, - Find out if there’s a way to recover my money, and - Report this case officially and get legal support. Please advise on the next legal steps I should take and whether I have a strong case. Thank you!
