  3. Hello,

    I am holding an Indian passport and UAE employment visa.
    I came to USA on tourist visa for a company work.
    I lost my passport here, and now i am in a very big trouble here.
    My family is in Dubai and waiting for me .
    Please help me.
    Below is my current status on paper work.

    I got the new passport from Indian embassy valid for 2 years as attached.
    UAE embassy suggested me to get attested and legalize the police report, i have sent it to Washington DC to do that and waiting for reply.

    after receiving the paper, i should apply for the special entry permit in LA UAE embassy.

    But someone showed a doubt that my 2 years passport might not be valid for entry permit.
    This is a regular passport, not temporary, still will it work for getting entry permit?

    Is there any policy that i get a letter and i process all these things after coming to UAE?
    I am really in a big need please help me , my daughter is alone there in UAE.

    Regards,
    Preeti
