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.

Dymocks and Collins Booksellers both sell it (you can also order it online). It is about $40.00AUD
Yes, the process of a woman sponsoring a husband can be done, though requires lots of patience/time.
Generally though, sponsorship is easier if you are a teacher, doctor etc.
