I paid for a partner visa but never received it. How can I recover my money?
Q: Hello, I have a friend who has an agency that promised me a partner`s visa. She told me the payment would be 7800 AED full package, then I paid over half, 4900 AED, last October 2024. But up until February 2025, I still didn’t receive any documents from her. So I decided to apply somewhere else, and I got my investor`s visa already. Now, I am asking for a refund, but until now, she is not giving it to me and not replying to my messages. What do I do with this?

How can I claim my settlement if the company is inactive but some branches still operate?
Q: Hello, I got a judgment from Dubai Court stating that the employer should do my settlement. It’s been years, but I still haven`t received the payment in my account. When I checked with Al Adheed Center, they said if the company is not active, it’s not possible to get the money. However, it’s a group of companies, and a few branches are still running. Is there any chance to claim it, or can I appeal directly to the court?

Can the school refuse to issue NOC to me after they terminated my employment contract?
Q: I am writing to raise a concern regarding the denial of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) by [----] School, Abu Dhabi, where I am currently employed as a Humanities Teacher. Although the school has officially discontinued my contract effective July 7, 2025, and I have not submitted a resignation, they are now refusing to issue an NOC. This is preventing me from accepting an opportunity with another charter school and is obstructing my right to secure alternate employment within the sector. As per my understanding from ADEK and MoHRE guidelines, an NOC cannot be denied when: - There is no non-compete clause in the contract. - The employee has not breached any contractual obligations, and - The termination was employer-initiated without a valid cause. I kindly request your guidance and support in addressing this issue so I may proceed with my job application process without unnecessary obstruction. Sincerely, N.May 14, 2025
