I am moving to Abu Dhabi in 6 months. My fiance and I have just had a baby girl and we will be married in 3 months (so 3 months before we move). I am being sponsored by the law firm I work for. I would be really grateful for anyone's advice on whether the fact that our daughter was born out of wedlock (although we are married now) will be an issue for either her or my soon to be wife's visa or otherwise. Obviously the marriage certificate will show when we are married and the birth certificate will have an earlier date. Very grateful for any advice as this is stressing us out and the government websites are vague about this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance!

The best thing to do would be to contact your or the UAE embassy. But I seem to recall from previous enquiries regarding this, that it is not too much of an issue.
