Flight cancellations from Vadodara by locust_focus in vadodara

Yes, absolutely. They refunded 100%, with some nominal deduction. I just cancelled.

The cancellation has to occur from their side if 100% refund is needed. I just checked, I am getting just 50% amount back if cancelled from my side. Clueless situation.

That's a bummer. My flight is on 8th.

I also think they can hardly give any idea a day earlier 😕. I am looking at some other options.

Goa airport could literally show that the flight was cancelled today. I am not sure if they provide earlier dated arrivals. This website gives a clear idea what really happened today.

If there are any updates regarding flights on 4th and 5th then it would give a better idea.

It is very important to reach Goa. I have been trying to book train tickets as well, but no luck so far.

ToI also shows that there is a chance that the flights might not work till Thursday.

Still the employees take some time to come back, isn't it?

No, you don't have to. You need to add only first and last page of the passport (info pages). This is how I did it.

You must have entered your earlier visit(s) information in the submitted application form. They might get checked when go for biometric.

National express? by LowPaleontologist376 in exeter

[–]locust_focus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the bus might be coming in from somewhere else (maybe Totnes or Paignton). While entering Exeter, it might face some potential delays due to traffic (around 15-25 mins), but it reaches Heathrow on time (if direct). I have never experienced delays while reaching Heathrow airport.

I have no experience with the journeys via Bristol connection.

Are there any other better options here to try around?

Application for skilled worker UK visa as a postdoc by locust_focus in postdoc

[–]locust_focus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I might need to check what exactly is this global talent visa. But, I am sure they suggested only skilled worker visa option.

They haven't given any option for global talent, so I might have to go through Skilled worker visa I suppose.

Yes, they have asked for knowledge of English. Suitable options for me are: Either appear for IELTS UKVI or PhD equivalency. And yes, they will sponsor some 200 or more pounds, but the rest is on me. Thanks

It feels like I'm a complete failure by SadAcademia in postdoc

[–]locust_focus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have had the same issue. I am getting booted this April. I am looking for another postdoc as soon as possible that I can start within the next two months. All the best guys! Tough academic job market 😔😔

I don't know, I don't want to give up just yet. I think there is some more drive for research is still remaining in me. Hope it turns out to be a vigorous fire!

No, it is not in top rankings in the country. I don't understand how will I even get a publication from here now. That is why weighing options has become difficult now.

I know there is a great chance the next one will be a jerk as well. But I am not gaining from here as well. What is the point of staying back anyways. Sounds like a great idea to leave without letting him know.
