Eager to return back home
ABU DHABI — Like many others, Dalvir Singh from the Indian state of Punjab, became an illegal after absconding from his sponsor. And the reason too was familiar — a paltry salary of Dh500 that he was finding inadequate in view of the Rs100,000 (nearly Dh9,000) loan he had taken to pay to an agent to secure the job here.
“I was spending most of my salary on food and rent. I was hardly saving anything. I suffered this state for four years. I kept working in the hope of saving at least some money to pay the loan to the agent in India,” Singh narrated.
He had started working as a labourer with a construction company in Sharjah in 2003. Once his visa expired in 2006, he fled from the sponsor, leaving his passport with the company. That is how he became an illegal.
He had been offered Dh1,500 per month from another company which he gladly accepted. However, as the amnesty was announced he decided he must avail himself of it.
“Now that the finger printing procedure is complete I expect to get the outpass soon,” he said.
