Well, I'll try to explain my situation: the lady we'd like to sponsor is still working now for another family in AR. Legally, her contract is finished since 01/15 and she said her current sponsor that she'd like to work for another family pref. European since she's been with them for 2 years now and has been working for 8 years for Arabic families. If I understand well all the process for recruitment in Dubai is: to come & work for us, she needs a release letter and a visa cancelled. When I called the sponsor and ask if she wanted to tranfert the visa, his wife told us she would release the maid by 01/15, and then she delayed the release day for 02/15 and now she said to us the 03/15. We said to her now the contract is finished, we need her for asap and we are willing do take over the maid, she doesn't have to pay the return ticket. Well, the way she trying to delay p** me off because the sponsor is not correct vis a vis of us & the maid. Of course, in our side, we could find a new live-in maid but we don't want the maid to be jobless and sent back home. She has to support her family & chilfren, I feel for her. Other point is she is so scared of the current sponsor because if she stands up and fights for her right, she will be banned. I'm shocked by the power of live or death on maid in UAE. I'd like to know if the maid can just walk out & come to work for us? can we just take her to immigration and make a new contract? how long the current sponsor can detain her? Anyway, we now are in a cul de sac situation, and I envisage to have a helper by a good agency for 1 or 2 months time to see how we can sort the maid out. I have to go back to France next Saturday with our 4m boy for 3 weeks to finish all the admin paper with taxman, release the flat.... I have to let my DD with DH here. Furthermore, inlaws is coming next week, so I really need a helper at least for 4h/day. So, any recommendation on agencies or advice to help the maid are welcome, plz ladies, help an over stressed mom who will let an asthma DD with DH alone. I'm writing many procedures for DH to follow for each case and how to look after DD but my nerves are completly fused by sleepless nights after sitting & giving Ventoline to DD after the sand storm last week + DS wakes up manytime at night for unknown reason!
