Email Efficiency Tips from ReplyTool

Three months back I went to visit dubai for 3 months on Visit Visa. In between this Visiting time I got a job offer and I signed an offer letter too, and I gave them all my documents copies, but just within few weeks, I got another very good job opportunity so I informed this employer by an emailed my & spoke to him face to face concenring this.
He agreed that I can go if I will replace myself therefore within two I hired a person for him and then I left. Then after few days this employer called me and asked my passport copy to cancel my case from immigration which I sent him via email. At that time I was on visit visa.
Then bfor the expiry of my Visit Visa I came back to Pakistan. Then after 3 months, now I again applied for Visit Visa but the objection came from Immigration Dept. that some company already processed my employment visa which has expired so I need to cancel it first therfore I contacted to my previous employer and asked them to cancel it but he DENIED and he asked me 15000 dhs. as my visa cost, this is shocking for me as I am financially very weak and have had no work for last 8 months.
I contacted with one of the person who is working as a PRO in Dubai. he checked online and said the company took labour Approval which must have expired by 16th July 2009. Even he told me my new Labour Approval No. 39889971 (which has expired)…But Now i can’t go to dubai to handle my case and have no money to pay to employer, how can I resolve this problem?? Then I put my complaint on e-complaint system DNRD (Dubai Govt) so the reply I got is this: "Dear Customer, We would like first of all to thank you for your complaint Totally, we agree with yourself according to the no response from our call center representatives, we are pleased to inform you that Let the PRO of the new company that you will work in their company to cancel your old visa by making a letter from any typing center and then they have to go to ( section 14 complaining section ) and they will cancel your old visa. Thank you for your complaint because we believe that complaints which coming from our customers is a gift for us to improve efficiency and effectiveness as well.. Best Regards. DNRD-DUBAI"

Now I am stuck as I don’t have any job or I don’t know any PRO who can help me. How can I resolve this issue ? can any help me?? Many thanks.
Best Regards.

There’s something I don’t understand: Why should an employer ask for a passport copy to cancel a visit visa? That just doesn’t make any sense because visit visas don’t get cancelled, they just become invalid. It sounds more, that he used your passport copy to apply for an employment visa. If this is the case, the employment visa needs to be cancelled before you can apply for a new one.

Anyway, you signed an offer letter which is as binding as a work contract. Please read what is stated regarding not fulfilling a contract and compensation paid to the employer to reimburse him for the visa costs.

May I ask what Nationality this employer is? Working on a visit visa is illegal and always bears a risk. That’s why I think that your employer applied for your employment visa.
Please be aware that in case of cancellation of the employment visa without a NOC you will receive a work ban in the UAE.
