Thanks for all your feedback... Synthia, I'm confused as well! They will be getting the work visa for myself, but not for my husband. I don't know why. Is this common practice with companies in the UAE? I'm assuming that they will guide us through the process. I will need to ensure that they do. Emad75, we won't be in the Free Zone either so I'm expecting it to be more complicated. I am quite sure that it will be more difficult being a wife sponsoring. Elphaba, where can I get a copy of Dubai Explorer? I'm in Australia at the moment, or do I need to wait till I get to Dubai? Thanks again.
