Dear Experts,
I was offered a job at Sharjah in June, 2008 and was called to join by way of a Visit Visa and promised the Resident Status once I join. During 3rd week of July, 2008 I joined the Company. However, instead of processing my Resident Visa, the Visit Visa was extended at the maturity of first term of 30 days. The next time, the Visit Visa was approaching its maturity, I was sent back to Pakistan and was again called in on a Tourist Visa. The Tourist Visa was not extendable so next time I was sent to Oman and a new Tourist Visa was sorted out for me. I was given a new excuse each time and I was not in a position to discontinue as all me original certificates and degrees were held by the Company.
The Company did not get me a proper working status till December, 2008 and during last week of December, 2008 my visa was arranged from some other Company in the Dubai Media City Freezone and I was strictly told not to discuss this matter anywhere.
On the part of my office, the management's attitude was very depressing for me and I was not given any office protocol or even basic things and I kept on working at my full potential by using my personal laptop and other resources. However, the management's attitude kept on becoming worst and at one stage I was on verge of mental collapse. So I decided to write off everything and flew back to my home country during February, 2009 without properly resigning because of the unbearable behavior of the management.
Now the Sponsor (who was not my employer) has put me and my family on absconder list and I have been told that we can NEVER travel to the UAE again. The Sponsor is not ready to do me favor and waive off this restriction.
Please advise, if there is any legal way, I mean any financial penalty or something, that can take me out of this problem. I await your prompt reply in this regard and offer my gratitude for your professional words.
