Hi There! Blatant advertising is not allowed but genuine recommendations are, of course- this board is about sharing information and helping people out. If you type handy man into the search function a lot of threads come up with most of the reputable companies mentioned on there- just double checked it for you- most of them cover all areas too. HTH

The rule is the wife can sponsor her husband for a residency visa if certain conditions are met- which has been done already but the company must provide an employment visa. So have your company tried to apply for the work visa or have they just looked at the stamp in the passport and thought oh dear he can't work- that stamp means that the person cannot work just because they have a residence visa- the next step is required... which is an employment visa. They should have applied for the employment visa before he even started to work for you- what they are doing is illegal- so maybe now they don't want to pay the costs for the employment visa? There are definitely men here who are sponsored by their wives and are working- but they will all have (should have!!!) an employment visa issued by the company they are working for.

Dear Cocopops, Thanks for your query... Please take a read at the rules of the board it is explained there... Specifically these 2 points - When making comments about companies or organisations, it is understood that some may be critical and/or negative. Please be respectful. If you feel you have been treated badly then say "I feel ..." and stick to factual comments only, or your own opinions "I think..." Don't make accusations that are personal, unsubstantiated, unfounded, inflammatory, or slanderous. They will be deleted.   - We are sometimes contacted by person, a poster or a company, who wish to have a particular thread removed for some reason - incorrect facts, damaging to them personally or professionally, personal situations they do not wish to be discussed publicly, too much information, original poster wants it removed etc. etc. and this is done, without entering into any debate on the board, as to why a particular thread has been removed. We do not differentiate between site sponsors and non-sponsors, posters and non-posters. We will delete any thread whenever requested by anyone. You would be surprised how often we are contacted to remove things from various sources. Thanks for your understanding.   EW Admin

HI there, No-one can see your personal details on your profile here- the person who posted the personal details of the man must know him...or had googled the information from other sources or pulled the info from the posts by this person in which email IDs etc were given away.... both have been banned and the posts removed. This is also why we ask that you do not post your email address on this forum too. The profile function is not populated with details on here- just your username and the post count with links to your posts and the date you joined. HTH EW Admin

Hi All! It's really great you are so passionate about the Mirdif Coffee Morning- it was cancelled due to low attendance and didn't seem to be that popular but it looks like there are a lot more of you are interested now. We will be at Caffe Nero at 10 am in Mirdif City Centre on Monday March 5th to talk to you about the possibility of continuing it... so look forward to seeing you all there- spread the word and let's see if numbers can be boosted!

Dear Malibumandy, Thanks for the feedback we will be looking into this. Can you send an email to Gemma on [email protected] and we'll make sure the events team are all briefed on this. It can be tough going to an event like these depending on people's confidence levels and we do take this feedback seriously... We have been doing this for 10 years and have helped many, many women settle into Dubai and make new friends over the years. We will of course take action on constructive criticism. Look forward to hearing from you. EW Admin
