Hi RuthM Thanks for the reply. The reason you need the agency is for them to be allowed out by immigration in Manila. The visa procedure is straight forward and we can do that. I'm just concerned that they won't let her through immigration in Manila with only the employment entry.

Hello My inlaws had a terrific maid 4 years ago who went back to the Philippines when her mother died. She would like to return and I would like her to work in my home. She's just renewed her passport and I'm trying to figure out how to bring her to Dubai. I've called a few agencies and they want AED 8k-9k for basically doing nothing. Is there a way around this? Can I bring her on a visit visa? Has anyone managed to bring a Filipino maid without an agency recently? Thanks!

Hi Amy- I'm a little concerned. I have a Dubai Health card and went to both Al Wasl and Al Badia clinic when I was about 7 weeks pregnant. Both places asked me where I was from (I'm assuming because I was dressed in shayla and abaya) and when I told them I'm American they said I wouldn't be seen until I was 16 weeks as an expat. I'm 14 weeks now and I'm hoping they didn't change something and I've missed a cut off date! Looks like I will be at Al Badia bright and early Sunday morning!

My daughter's Chico infant seat has the FAA sticker on but that doesnt really make sense because rear facing car seats aren't allowed! Thanks DubaiCat, really appreciate it.

Hi Ladies Sorry for posting this on the main board but I am at my wits end and am hoping that you wonderful ladies could provide me with some feedback. I am flying to the US with my 18 month old next week, it was a last minute decision due to a family emergency. We purchased my daughter a seat because there is no way I can hold her for 16 hours and I was hoping to take my carseat on board with me. I have a Maxi Cosi Priori XP, which meets European safety standards requirements of ECE regulation 44, -03 that is listed on the Emirates website. However, it is secured using a shoulder belt and the Emirates website says that the car seat must be secured using a lap belt. I think it would still be "secure" enough for the plane just using the lap belt? I really don't want to be told that I can't use the carseat so I even went to Babyshop and Mothercare today planning to purchase one that can be scured using a lap belt and has an FAA approved sticker but they told me they didnt have any car seats for sale that were approved for use in an airplane?! My question is has anyone been able to use a Maxi Cosi Priori on an Emirates flight? If i take a printout of the approved car seat list from the EK website and show that the car seat has the sticker saying it meets the ECE regulations will it suffice? I tried to call Emirates today and get an answer but they seemed surprised that I was allowed to even take a car seat on the plane?! TIA!
