Hi, I have just found out that I'm pregnant and unmarried... I am a white British expat female working in Dubai, living alone and financially secure with a good job which I enjoy. I am wondering if the rules are really so strict that I would be jailed if I give birth here? I visited a British docto...

It's a tough decision no matter what. Stay here until 7 months and go home for birth - risk of jail. Abortion - possible moral issues and emotional consequences. Marriage of convenience - possible moral issues, emotional, practical, legal consequences. Have baby here as single mum - jail risk. There...

No you are NOT, just a bunch of incompetents and amateurs, should I remind you that a team of assassins walked in your country like if it was in a park and killed a wanted terrorist under your nose. The police did not catch them and have no clues as to who they are. In the mean time the police is g...

Just as long as both parties are aware of 'The Rules' There are rules? Ah .... hmmmm .... :evil: And, er, what are they? 'The Rules' are simple: 1. We are together for mutual fun. Nothing else. 2.

Hi All, Not sure of this is the right place for this question… I’ve been offered a job in Abu Dhabi, and as part of the contract I’ve been asked to complete a Degree Verification Form for IntegraScreen. Part of the form requires me to provide a Barcode number? Does anyone know where I can get the i...

This a double post? Thought I just replied.

That link is from 2006, I'd double check if it's still the correct prcedure.

they aint happy with people chucking kittens out of fast moving cars, Erm, what is your problem with people who not happy about that? Are you trying to say kittens (or any of God's creatures) deserve to be thrown out of vehicles? Or that humans are entitled to seek pleasure in torturing, maiming, o...

Hi Bonk, That's the part that confused me to, to be honest, as the IntegraScreen process and form looks to do the same as the process you mentioned above with the FCO and the UAE embassy. I think I'm going to go back to the company and question the information that they have provided. Once I find o...

Oh, thanks for that bonk. I was looking at the date at the top of the page. If that's the case, I believe that they stopped using that process. Yes, that's what I thought. I can't find any report from the actual time it was cancelled, but this one refers to it as being cancelled in 2008 ... http://...

The person who could help you is "bonk". Hopefully he will see this and can provide the correct info. Aahhhhh, I did see this question. I was trying to avoid it in the hope someone else would answer it. It's too complicated for me :). Here's what I think I know ... or know what I think .....

But either way you still have to get 'cancelled' stamped over the visa, so the passport is still required by immigration to do this. No way around that. Not necessarily according to the DNRD website. Maybe their information is wrong or out of date? This involves a description of procedures of Natur...

Try emailing them MOL - mopmr@uae.gov.ae DNRD - info@dnrd.ae Or try the contact forms and online equiries on their websites - I think you can enter your work permit number to check the status, same for visa.

Hopefully our resident expert, bonk, will see this. He is quite knowledgeable on these matters. I think you are being way too generous but thanks :). Yes, the principle behind UAE gratuity payments is to make up for no pension for expat workers. But as best I can tell, the UAE labour law doesn't sp...

Hi Guys, I checked through the website by entering my labour card number, it says Status - "Y" what does it mean ? I don't know. I tried to search for an answer but didn't get anywhere. Only status options seem to be Y or N. Maybe for Yes or No but yes or no to what, I don't know. Current...

bonk: Isn't there a standard rule now that you can terminate a contract if you give 3 months notice? If that was the case and he had say 6 or 9 months left on a lease, would the landlord be obligated to return the unused portion (3 months or 6 months based on the above) of the rent paid for in adva...

Are you sure about the Oman border thing? My friend used to go to Oman for a couple of days R&R and come back to get her visa renewed, before she got her residents one. Always best to make sure and not just rely on what a friend says, not just for this but everything. Probably the best advice h...
