I need some assistance as I have a valid residence but my sponsor, under whose residence I am, has a case of number 31 against his company. I have already found a new job while my new sponsor wants me to transfer to his company but I am not able to transfer as my current company’s file has been blocked due to a case against it.

Kindly suggest what needs to be done in order to transfer my residence to the new sponsor.

Answer: Well, you are stuck until the file of your company is reopened because as long as this file is closed — for whatever reason — no transactions of the company’s employees are allowed. The only other way around this problem is for you to take your company to court over the issue. It is possible — after listening to your arguments — that the court may order the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor to allow your transfer.
