ADEK rejection - 4 times - desperate

Post new topic

humble15

Hello everyone


I hope there are people who can shed some more light on this please. As a British expat, I have been working as a teacher in Abu Dhabi since August, my school have been submitting ADEK applications and the first three got rejected. There were issues related to my visa details that we resolved with the federal authority for identification. We were advised to wait 2 months before resubmitting the fourth time and in that time I have made Emirates ID, labour card, UAE police clearance certificate. The application was submitted but it was rejected very quickly and as the other rejections, no reason was stated.


I am getting extremely anxious and stressed about the situation and I do not know what to do. Could someone please advise? Do we just resubmit and hope for the best? Are there any advice groups in Abu Dhabi? Do I seek support from the embassy? I have nothing to return to in the UK so I really want to make this work.



Thank you

@humble15 did you get the approval?

humble15

@Hans12 No not yet. Will be making another application soon. I hope it gets approved.

Ok. Was yours security related or not?

Hi mine got accepted and a week later Adek went to pending approval and school said it’s with the security department now and we have to wait. I don’t know this is as I got accepted three years ago.

@Hans12

Have u experienced something similar and was it with security reason? I hope I don’t get rejected because people saying if you have British passport and place of birth is Pakistan and parents too then that could be why it’s with security department

I heard if you get rejected then they say u can apply after 12 months as you are then banned for a year. Your school should know this. But also some people then apply in dubai and get cleared as Abu Dhabi Adek is sep to dubais and dubai is much more lenient. That’s another possibility you could try

Also on fb you could post on Abu Dhabi Brit’s expats group
