If agency does not cancel my visa for new job, what's next?
Q: Good morning, sir I have paid an agency to process my visa, but unfortunately, I received a job offer and was instructed to cancel the visa to be on the company`s visa. Although I have paid for everything, including cancellation fees, the agency refuses to proceed with the cancellation. My new company is waiting within the timeframe provided for me to start work, threatening termination if not met. I lodged a complaint with the Labor Department, and they informed me it would take 5 to 10 days to resolve the issue and provide me with the cancellation letter for the new company. However, by then, the time will have elapsed. Can my agency still cancel it after my complaint to labor, or must we continue to wait for labor? Additionally, I intend to file a lawsuit against the agency if I lose my job and visa. Kindly advise. Thank you! Questions & Answers

I bought a property off-plan and took me time to pay the 4% DLD. Can the developer cancel the contract?
Q: I have bought a property in Dubai off-plan. The villa was completed at the end of Jan (1.5 months ago). I haven`t had the funds to register the property with DLD until now, mid-March. Until now, I have paid the 20% deposit to the builder and taking 80% on mortgage. The mortgage with the bank is now ready with the manager`s cheque and sent to the DLD office ready for registration. As it has taken some time for me to arrange the 4% DLD, the builder is now telling me he is going to cancel the contract or charge me an additional amount as the market price has gone up. Is this possible? What rights does the builder have? I am ready to register the property next week with DLD but the builder is threatening to take alternative action. Questions & Answers
