My employer requested me to withdraw my complaint to cancel my visa. What should I do?
Q: Good day, What does "a complaint is approved by Mohre... for initiating the settlement" mean?

So I needed to withdraw my complaint for them to transact it. What will be the next step?

استئناف حكم صدر بثبوت التهمة مع انقضاء الدعوى للتنازل
س: السلام عليكم، دعوى جنحة جزائي صدر الحكم فيها بثبوت التهمة مع انقضاء الدعوى للتنازل. تم تحويلها مدني لمطالبة المُدعي بذلك. هل يناقش القاضي المدني الموضوع ويرى الأدلة المقدمة من المتهم؟ علمًا بأن المتهم لم يستطع حضور أي جلسة في الجزائي أو تقديم دفاعه لأنه لا يملك القدرة على دفع أتعاب محامي، ولكن الحكم صدر حضوريًا اعتباريًا. السؤال الأهم: هل يجوز استئناف الحكم الجزائي الصادر في هذه القضية لتقديم دفاعي أم لا؟ Questions & Answers

Can my company make my position redundant and hire somebody else after I was terminated?
Q: My company terminated my employment because it was making the position I held redundant. I was advised that in no way was this performance-related but purely a restructuring exercise. However, within 1 month of leaving the company, they have externally recruited another person to fill my exact position, with the same job title, that they made redundant. Whilst I believe that this is unethical behavior, could anyone tell me if this is legal within the UAE or should I lodge a complaint for unfair dismissal? Questions & Answers

A landlord wants to change payment terms while the tenant refuses. What to do?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My tenancy contract is due for renewal on 30 November 2023. On 4 November 2023, my landlord inquired if we would agree to an increase in rent. We declined as it is our first year contract and he was exceeding the RERA index. He has now agreed to maintain the current rent. My question is that the terms of the tenancy contract specify three cheques, but he is now requesting only one cheque. Where do we stand as I cannot issue a single cheque for the full amount? We do not want the terms of the contract to be altered, and he has again failed to inform us in writing, only sending a WhatsApp message stating "Provide me with a cheque, and I will create a new contract." Please advise me! Thank you! Questions & Answers

Then, the employee directly canceled the visa & absconding case from MOHRE. Now the absconding case is still there in Immigration. So how can that be removed? Are there any charges for that?

إمكانية دمج حكمين وتنفيذ العقوبة الأكبر فقط
س: مرحبًا، أخي وزوجي اتهما بالاستيلاء عبر تقنية المعلومات والابتزاز. في محكمة الدرجة الأولى، أدينا بالاستيلاء وحُكم عليهما بالسجن لمدة ستة أشهر وعقوبة الإبعاد وبُرِّئا من الابتزاز. استأنفنا الحكم لأن أخي وزوجي ليس لهما ذنب في الموضوع؛ فهناك شخص ورطهما فيه. كما استأنفت النيابة حكم البراءة من الابتزاز. في الاستئناف، رُفض استئناف أخي وزوجي، وقُبل استئناف النيابة، وأدانوهم بالابتزاز وحكموا عليهم بسنة. كنا نعتقد أن حكم السجن أصبح كاملاً سنة واحدة، ولكن عرفنا أنه سنة ونصف: سنة للابتزاز وستة أشهر للاستيلاء. سؤالي: هل هناك شيء اسمه دمج الحكم أو أخذ الحكم الأكبر فقط؟ قالوا لنا إن هناك إجراءات يجب أن نقوم بها لهذا الأمر حتى يصبح حكمهما سنة فقط. حاليًا، قضيتهم تابعة لنيابة دبا الحصن، وهم في السجن المركزي بالشارقة. هل يوجد في الشارقة شيء اسمه دمج الحكم، لأنه موجود في أبوظبي؟ أرجوكم، نريد أن نعرف إذا وكلنا محاميًا في الشارقة، فهل سيدمج الحكم؟ Questions & Answers

Can an outpass affect my Dubai police clearance for a UK visa application?
Q: Good evening, everyone! I left Dubai in January 2023, and I am currently in the process of applying for a UK visa. I was asked to provide a Dubai police clearance certificate, which I did. However, I recently found out that the Dubai police clearance certificate I provided has been canceled. I have no prior cases against me in Dubai, so I`m wondering if the cancellation is related to the outpass I obtained to leave the country.
