these issues are quite normal in UAE, I lived their for a year and left with some Credit Card debt. I left some money in my account and was paying from the UAE account to my bank. When that money finished I asked them to send me wire transfer details which they did I was transferring money to that account after 4 months bank said that they never received money, I forwarded them email and slips of wire transfer but stupid those still wanted to bring case against me so I am just paying them off once but asked them for a letter from bank with account details where I can transfer money, luckily I took my PCC from Dubai before I left Dubai which was less then 3 months old when I field my case with CIO and approx 7 months old when I sent my docs to Buffalo.
But after the long story I can remember one of my friends who worked with me in Dubai, left company and company asked him to pay visa charges which is illegal so rather going in dispute he left on holidays and didn't come back. Company filed case against him that he took some loan never paid ( a Criminal case in UAE) and didn't cancelled his visa (Civil case) he applied for immigration and he got it back in 2009 from Pakistan embassy, I met him b4 he left but don't have his Canadian contact details. Visa officer know these stupid anti human rules in UAE. Still pray
 
REPLIED IN CAPS. HOPE YOUR APPLICATION WENT THROUGH ...

From Dubai here are the answers... of your questions


Clarify the following points
1. Are you really guilty or its fake case ? it is completley A fake case
ANS : OK
2. Has he filed criminal case or civil case ? I believe this is a civil case , he has mentioned that I took money form him and without returning it back I flew away....
ANS : YES, THIS IS CIVIL CASE
3. What document do you think he submitted in court to show that you took money from him ? I have no Idea, in Abu dhabi or Al ain there is no need to present evidence to file a case. any one can just write an application in arabic and file a case against anyone... this is what UAE nationals are doing to give others a hard time. and expats learnt this way and take an advantage of the same....
ANS : THIS IS NORMAL. YOU ARE JUST HAVING A CASE FILED AND VERDICT PASSED IN YOUR ABSENCE. THIS IS NOT MAJOR ISSUE.
4. How did you exit uae - by visa cancellation or fled the country (like over 6 months stay etc) or by deportation ? I properly cancel my visa from my company and exit very legally form Dubai , infact i stayed there for a week after cancellation of my visa. I also have the visa cancellation papers recieved from the Dubai Air port.
ANS : THIS SHOWS DURING YOUR LEGAL STAY NO CASE WAS AGAINST YOU.

In my opinion - solution to this
1. Clear the case and get PCC
Get any public lawyer (costs around 5000aed, they sit within court areas) and forward all documents. He can represent you and justify your position with all documentary evidence from your side. But this will take a while, as with all civil cases. The major plus point you have is there its not criminal case so defending civil in this case is very easy.

2. Or get detail of case (from UAE court, just cost AED50 or less per page), translate it and it would mention the details that a case was filed in your absence and after you left country. Note that in this case, verdict will say something like this ..... "this sentence has been passed in absence of ......", which makes your stand/position clear. Then give a letter to VO as why you cannot give PCC at the moment along with all supporting documentary evidences with focus on (1) case filed after you left UAE, (2) verdict passed in your absence and (3) no one represented your case as you were not informed about this.

Hope the above helps
 
There is one more suggestion !

Get the detail of ur complaint from police station, UAE. If you are sure that the case was registered against you after your exit, then write an explanatory letter to CIC, and let them know the real fact. Attach the complaint slip from police, mentioning date and also attach exit page of ur passport !

U can also mention that u left UAE legally with proper cancellation of visa, and u were not been stopped by immigration authority at airport, reasoning it as a fake case proclaimed on basis of enemity. Also mention that there is no written evidence against you , that u took money from tht person.

U can attach ur passport exit page, ur police complaint slip, visa cancellation papers and all legal documents which could support ur claim

I sincerely pray for you !

Best Regards.
 
Should I or Should I not?

Hi,
I am at serious Emergency.
Need your frank comments please.
I am in the process of applying for F1 (Student) Visa for USA. Now, I have to submit a questionnaire. The last question in that questionnaire is- Did you apply for immigration or citizenship to any other country? If yes, then which country and what is the status of your application.

Please, I know it is awkward, but given the fact that my being a potential immigrant to Canada, the US consulate may reject me from Student VISA there. So, should I disclose that I have applied for Canadian Immigration in the Student Visa form for US?

I have only 24 hours to decide. I am sincerely looking for your pragmatic suggestion (no matter how awkward it is!).
