I have a question please help!
I am an engineer working here in dubai under a LIMITED contract. My joining date was last June 28, 2008. My labor card was issued on August 15, 2008, my residence visa's date started on October 18, 2008. Now I want to resign from my company because I got a better offer from a semi-government company. I already submitted my resignation last June 30, 2009, with a notice period that I will still render work to my company until July 23, 2009.

Now, the problem is that my current employer don't want to accept my resignation, of course they will not release any NOC or even have my visa cancelled. What can I do? I really want to leave my current company. And also please inform me as per what are the cases (if ever) or is there any chance that I can resign from my company and have my visa canceled. Please inform and advise me accordingly. Thanks
