Hi,epzbarbosa said:hi guys...
guys i have a problem my company dnt want to give my passport,and my passport request from embassy expires on august 7,then my company will give all my papers on sept 20.?is there any way that i can talk to embassy to extend my passport request.pls help me....
Sorry I just read your post today, the same situation happened to a friend.... What she did was she went to the Dubai Courts, brought all her documents related to her application in the Canada Embassy and her passport request. She has a translated document in Arabic explaining her situation, on the same day the court ordered a Police Officer to help her obtain her passport from her company. The Police Officer accompanied her in going to the company and helped her explain that it is in UAE law that the company should not withhold an employee's passport, that it is the property of the Philippine Government and the employee. The same day the company was forced to give up her passport to her.
My advise is that it would take a lot of guts to do this move. Better if you have a friend who can speak and write in arabic that can accompany you to the Courts, are you in UAE??? Because if you are in other country I don't have any idea with their laws and processes.... Also, make sure that your company doesn't hold anything that they can use against you (i.e. Company loans, cash advances, trainings & licenses paid for by your company on your behalf), if so, they can argue that in case the Courts will side with you and the decision might be turned against you, so be very sure.....
Goodluck, I hope everything will be fine.....
