So I am hoping my read of everything is correct, but you never know so wanted to throw this out there, and really hoping I did not screw myself.
In October 2011 I was given my termination on a job I had since Aug 2010 (because the project was cancelled and thus my job unnecessary, not cause). Been here doing visa runs since then. I should mention I have a MS in Engineering
I got a new job and started Feb 26 with a semi-government Abu Dhabi company. I was in a bit of a tricky situation with this new job (job 2), in that it looked like I had another offer on the horizon (job 3) that I was far more interested in but nothing in writing yet. My thinking at the time was that the other opportunity would be resolved while I was still on probation at the new job and so I could resign without issue.
Job 3 is actually working with a former employer through their branch in the UAE. They don't really employ a lot of folks here so are not well versed in the most current of labor laws. They raised the question about me not having met a 2 year requirement. I have not actually told them about the fact the new position, although they know I had another offer. This has now started to get me worried
They are currently processing my visa at job 2.
I am still under the belief that all is good and I can still make this last change and end up at job 3. I was terminated without cause at job 1 so that makes no 6 month ban and on probation at job 2 when I resign so all good there. My fallback is that I have an engineering degree and make over the required minimum 12K salary.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
