Default Staying in Ajman 3 months... any info on CBOD building?

firstly i was told Dubai is where we would be staying so i researched everything, then i was told Sharjah so again i did lots of research, now its Ajman and i know nothing.....

Ive been told we are staying in the CBOD building, does anyone know where this is or have a bit more information.... Google is failing terribly this morning and i dont have time to look around, lots of packing and sorting to do!!

Thanks

yea, they gave us a 2 bed villa in mirdiff in Dubai when we first arrived.

After the probation, which he will be working illegally on a visit visa no doubt, just state bluntly (you have to trust me) that you are not living there and you want to move to dubai.

The company will see if they have any available houses for you. They were about to give us a company house in the springs when i left..or they will offer you an allowance which would have been average in 2003.

It is going to be a nightmare for me as we were going to look at the Mirdiff area for after the 4 month probabtion as i have arranged interviews for *************! I certainly do not want to do the trip from Ajman to Dubai every bloody day, i will spend more time in the car!!

4 month probation?? its went up and i take it they will not process the residence visa until this is up? (thats what they did with me), so you have to do a visa run..

maybe they have changed it all since i left, it was a few years ago now..

when it comes to work, they are a good company...their HR type thing is plainly shocking..

Sorry it is 3 months, too busy looking all over the web and talking on here, but yes they expect all documentation to be ready when you arrive. I have had first hand experience of the HR and it is pretty crap.

Why have the ***** the word Dubai?!

Well you are correct, apparently the bank is on the ground floor and above that is the residence however i can not find a single bloody thing about the accommodation!!! Im certainly not happy about living above a bank, i can only begin to imagine how bloody busy it is going to be!

If anyone can shed any light i would be really grateful!

Thanks
