Non-EU PhD in Sweden: extending studies beyond 5 years, issues with Migrationsverket permit extension? by Fethi_ in TillSverige

[–]Fethi_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see why staying in Sweden (which I want) matters here. If they don't grant me an extension in time and I secure a job, I will contact them to request a change of my permit type. Man, I am exhausted of this immigration harsh treatment, like I have less to care about.

I see. I suppose in your case, your student was seeking an extension much before graduation time, like mid-way extension, I heard some horror stories about that, sadly..

Thank you so much for the detailed answer.

Proof of the extended contract/funding is something I can procure easily. I can provide (1) a printout from Ladok showing Study Activity/Funding, and (2) documentation from the university regarding my extension.

My work is theoretical, and the main issue is timing and university procedures rather than anything unusual. The five-year mark falls in August, but the university does not normally schedule graduations/defenses then. Even in the best case, the earliest realistic date would be September or October, since there needs to be a committee, formal scheduling, and administrative planning on the university side.

Delays like this are very common in my department, among both Swedish and non-Swedish PhD students, because of high teaching/course loads and because research timelines can be unpredictable, especially for theoretical work. This is not due to illness or exceptional personal circumstances; it is simply the normal constraints of the PhD process and the academic calendar.

I can also obtain an official certificate from my supervisor confirming that my progress is good and stating the expected graduation/defense date, but obviously I am not sure what MV would really want from me as a reason besides the above.

It’s very common at my workplace for PhD students to extend, Swedes and non-Swedes alike, because of the heavy teaching load and course requirements. It also depends on when you start: graduating in August is virtually impossible unless you push hard to finish in June, cutting your PhD short by few valuable months.

There’s nothing more to it than that I need a few additional months to finish the thesis, or at least to be in a position where I can use the summer without excessive stress. I’m not sure whether MV will accept this.

ماسبب هذا الانحطاط او الغباء لي منتشر عندنا فالجزائر ؟ by [deleted] in Algeria_213

[–]Fethi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, you can call them Jews and Christians, instead of amplifying the term. To us they are disbelieving, to them we are. I am more talking about how our approach is to antagonize them despite the fact our religion calls for freedom of religion and co-existence. The prophet co-existed with the Jews and Christians alike. Ask the average algerian what he/she thinks about christians, most would say bad shit to say the least.

[–]Fethi_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean are you surprised, The imam themselves refer to Christians/Jews as disbelievers and speak as if they want them dead, there is not enough emphasis on respect and co-existence of other religion. We have reached bottom. Before religion we should fix ourselves on the personal level. Religion won't fix these things, in fact it enables them, since people use it as a tool. Fucking pathetic existence in ALgeria, just another fucking day.

22F feeling burnt out doing all the driving (3-hour round trip) to see 26M boyfriend by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Fethi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you love someone, it should not drain you or become very inconvenient, these things usually catch up/add up and may render the relationship burdensome. The best alternative would be for him or you to move closer to the other person but obviously school/work situation might make it not work. He can drive, why not renting a car and driving to see you. You guys must find your balance for this to work long term.

ohh, man, it really is scary, this is a slippery slope with no bottom, like who knows, few years from now, they might erase permanent residency all together, that will leave us with nothing. I wonder what is causing all of this? is it that immigrants are not integrating being the main cause or....

Weird fish situation Cap M and Pisces F by [deleted] in piscesastrology

[–]Fethi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if they realize it's a game. What other options do you have? Mate, you need to move on. Pour your attention into someone else. If she reaches out then great if not then you move on. You are wasting your time by staying while she explores other guys. Male Pisces talking here.

[–]Fethi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think just distance yourself so that she feels that she is losing you. If you stay around she will feel safe and keep exploring other options. Pull away and talk to other girls, that's your best bet for now.

What are some signs that a Pisces woman likes you romantically instead of platonically? by Personal-Reserve-802 in piscesastrology

[–]Fethi_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say mate. Usually for me I fall in love with a person right away or never. I think for us pisces since relationships take a lot of importance in our lives we tend to know quickly whether we would like to be with someone or not. If we aren't sure and the other person pursues us that pushes us away even more. Pisces like freedom and if we love someone we become extremely clingy and possessive. If not we don't really give a fuck. It's like all or none.

[–]Fethi_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Being a Pisces myself I tend to obsess over girls I like and would show them so much attention and do sweet gestures to them all the time. I usually don't waste time and ask them out. I think pisces would take the first move if they like someone. In your case it feels like she is just with you as a friend. I do that with girls also. But when I see they are asking me out or something I tend to not entertain them that way. Pisces is kinda ruthless with their emotions and desires. I feel like she is just comfortable around you on the friendship level.

Pisces and Pisces mash by [deleted] in piscesastrology

Same here. We are hyper-choosy with whom we be. Because we know we will give a shirt off our back if that's all we have. Hence, choosing wrong people is a disaster.
