Dear Sirs,

I live in Jordan and I got an official employment offer to work in an IT company in the free zone in Dubai. So i resigned from my current work and i have signed the contract and i prepared myself to relocate to Dubai. And they started my visa processing and they asked me to submit my academic certificates to the free zone office to be able to issue the visa, then they send me an airline ticket to go to Dubai on 2 January but before two days of my travel they informed me that my visa was not issued and that they will inform me later, then I kept sending them emails about the visa status without getting any reply, but on 12 January the company send me an email that the management has withdraw my offer because my manager has resigned and because of restructuring the company. So now i have resigned from my work and also i will not be able to join them in Dubai. So i need to know if i can get any compensation from the company? , bearing in mind that they send me an email that they will transfer 2 months' salary due to any inconsistency that might have been raised from withdrawing the offer, so should i got more than 2 months or what is the legal situation?
Thanks in advance for any help.
BR

Let me address it from an hr perspective:

Has the company in dubai asked you to tender your resignation? If this is the case then you could claim an additional compensation for the hardship they have caused you. This is not a legal opinion, rather an hr one. It would be wise to write to them and take them through the sequence if events and they could come up with a more favourable settlement. Legal advise should still be sought. Best of luck.
