Practicing law (advising people of the law) without a license is illegal. Please don't break the law.

Hi, I was working in 2000 in Sharjah but due to Employer abuse (he framed me)...I was given a 1 year ban on 2000. Does this ban have an effect if I wish to come back to UAE to work? Please help.

Nothing. They are not Phillipinos!

16. Chuck Norris was practicing roundhouse kicks in India just for fun; as a result he sent some gusts of wind towards Dubai. Today we know this as Hurricane Gonu. 17. Chuck Norris once mentioned that he wanted to visit Dubai. Hence all the frantic construction just to make him feel entertained. Li...

thank you all for your advice. very helpful. so solving the marriage problem thing, does anyone think there is a chance of my partner getting some sort of job (trade or whatever) without a degree of some sort. and if so does he have to line one up before arrival (to get sponsored) or can he just co...

Ok can somoene explain what is going on?

Lets start from the premise that the root is the USA and Isreal (as someone will surely point out). So then why are palestinians killing palestinians?

Hey guys ! I don't know Dubai very well at all, so would like to enlist your collective advice. I'm looking for the ideal location for a wedding ! We've booked with Christchurch in Jebel Ali, but have yet to come up with a good place to have wedding photos, then a reception and finally a good hotel...

Anyone gets the prickly feeling (on the cheek) from outdoor exposure? I guess it's from the sun here :roll: Like needle prickly feeling. If yes, what should I do? 1. stay in house 2. ask boyfriend to keep pricky somewhere else :roll: wonder if Concord have more intellectual answers :lol: Nah, it co...

Send plane ticket. Rent, Food, Gas, Car, music, books, booze (except hole in wall and barracuda), and now tolls are way too expensive in Dubai nowadays.

I want to go in a plane with an engine in it and some wings not some contraption that uses a giant sling shot!

My contract (with a company in the DIFC) has a pretty standard non-compete clause that prevents me working for a competitor for six months. I'm not planning to leave immediately but may want to switch jobs at some point in the next year or so. Because I work in a pretty specialised area, I would al...

I forgot also and dbxsoul is right of course regarding the "official labour contract" in the UAE.. Look at the contract that was registered (if it has) which you should have. Of course the practical aspect of the "enforceability" still apply (see above). You may have to go to cou...

let us know how that goes.

Any DF members been there?

Do companies here really go to court to enforce these clauses. To me, most companies here appear to be terribly lazy and stingy. I know people who jump from company to company (some even NMC), taking client contacts with them, and I keep asking why the hell they aren't banned yet. When I mention th...

I think he actually left because this place is dead.

They endure because they have no other choice or opportunity and they have the same needs as non-laborers (food, shelter, families, etc.).

I heard on the radio that today is the start of "Summer Surprises" and Modesh's Day! I got my first suprise of the summer: Got to my office and the airconditioning was out so I went out to leave to another office but they had parked a temporary AC unit (Huge Thing) inches away from my car....
