You went to Cambridge and you can't spell or string a sentence together!?!?!?!:roll: Plus the university you went to is not a fast-track.

I agree Devonian, fake. Shame on this person for coming on here and taking us as fools. Curse on me if Cardi is genuine but their story is getting more and more bizarre. Sorry after the Cambridge story I just don't believe it anymore.

As for getting the ILR with positive thinking, I sure the poster you attacked on here a few weeks ago is wishing the same for you... not. :evil:

People generally tend to get their visas extended for the duration of their courses; at least I did for all my degrees.

Which university did you study your PhD and what was it in?

If it was that would be totally unfair and it will make me wonder why I haven't got a response yet; I am not infering that I went to Cambridge.

I prefer to believe that he/she has a 'friend' at the UKBA.

Yes with my PhD I got 3 years visa straight away as well....

It was PhD (Laws) the area of my Research topic was Corporate Finance and investment banking law...at Queen Mary UofL.

How about you? Are you done with your Phd? Did you have your VIVA already?

It is a clinical (medicine) based PhD so it is total research, there are no taught components to it.

My university charges for it unfortunately albeit only £100.

Boredom?.. Far from it! Its more mental fatigue than anything else. I submitted a first draft but my supervisor has given me suggestions to improve it so I'm currently working on that. I can't wait to submit the final version, I'm nearly at my wits end!

I think what Devonian is saying cannot be totally ruled out....

Cardi's story may be true (even stranger things have happened in this world) but even I am having some doubts about the authenticity of his story.

Again watch the subtle way he has, also, defended the SAR department in one of his earlier posts.

And a person with such qualifications as Masters, Ph.D etc and after 10 years in the UK asking such naive questions as 'Do you know any countries which recognize UK's ILR where I dont need any visa enter that country for holiday pls'?

But, however, if what Cardi is saying is true, then looking at the long time being taken to process majority of 10 year ILR applications , all I can say is 'one swallow doesn't make a summer'.

Why do people on here assume everyone one is male?? Everytime people refer to someone on here they always say 'he' even though they have no evidence for their gender. :lol:

So I hope everyone here who suffer from this dreadful waiting, don't be defeat by the negative force, after all we do need a little bit of luck for this matter,don't we?

just out of curiosity,Cardi..Did you go to Oxbridge?cos one of my friend who read economics there (BA/MA/PHD) applied ILR Under 10 yrs student visa got hers in 3weeks....

Again congratulations!!!! :lol:

Yes ILR-2010, Positive thinking is very important...also when other people wish you Positive wishes and when they have positive thoughts about you, then that is even more important in terms of their thoughts influencing things/success happening in your life....so I totally agree with you and share the same thoughts as you....

Actually I am quite surprised you asked me this question...yes I did MSc in International Relations at Cambridge Uni...Wolfson College....back in 2001....it was 2 year course...first year was taught programme where I had to attend lectures and tutorials.whereas the second year was research..just had to work on my thesis and just had to keep in touch with my primery and the secondary supervisors to update them as to my progress....

(I remember I went to HO in 2001 to extend my student visa together with the acceptance letter from Camr Uni which said my course is 2 years...but the HO gave me only 1 year visa...and I remember I was quite angry and told the caseworker why only 1 year visa when my course is 2 years?...then he said "we will see your progress after 1 year and see what happends then..")

So had to extend again after 1 year...

But the problem with MSc (Masters of Science) even if it is from Cabr. uni it was very difficult for me to get any job offers....that is why I continued to stay on student visas all of thwe 10 years...

....The problem is with MSC (inernat.relations) you can only get some jobat some inernational organisations..United Nations..WTO...IMF..etc...and there is a fierce competition even for Inernships..and een if you get a job...it pays you nuttsss....

So i had to do some other degrees afterwards...did my LLM....anybody here did any LLM? would be nice to share experiencess....

my last degree on the basis of which i extended my last 10th year of my student visas was based on PhD as welll....the good thing with PhDs is that you have a chance for 3 years visa extension...my PhD was 3 years...I dont know how bout your frieds'? Is it the same length?

(With PhDs, I personally find it ery boring and lonely degree...nobody to talk to...you are just on your own with your main supervisors whom you se may be twice a year....just contact via e-mail..etc..)

So yes thats my story ILR-2010....how about you?
Cardi, that made all the sense now,so HO does look at a person's character etc....good to know that...

I'm studying at LSE done Bsc Econ& LLB here,currently doing Msc Econ...hopefully I can pursue the phd in the near future....that'll be a tough decision to make btw Oxford or the US...

Thanks again,I do hope everyone here will get ILR stamped bk soon

Cardi, from your posts, you'd already done a Masters degree by 2002 (going from the fact that you'd done one year of your MSc prior to extending your visa in 2001) and then you went on to do an LLM and a PhD..it sounds to me like you've practically spent a lot of time accumulating degrees.

Have you managed to get a job yet? With all those degrees I would be at a loss for words if you haven't. You must be quite 'mature' by now.. Or indeed very clever!

I agree with many of you guys - Cardi is a fake
no matter which University person attended, their Visa would take longer then 2 weeks as such timeline is simply unheard of!!!

why would someone be a silent user and then suddenly once they got their ILR they join a discussion and tell us loads about their feelings and experiences, writing whole A4 pages of storries - wierd! Why would someone not believe that they got their ILR for such a long time, staring at passport for ages.

I do not recall any other users telling storries like that - all of them, like Liverpool, Boonbin, just came back to the forum and simply stated that document are back. If you do have all of those degrees by now you should be in a very high demand amoung employees, should be in the full time employment and, surely, should have very little time , if any, for writing up all these storries.

Sorry do not mean to offend anyone but I hate timewasters :shock:

Hi ILR-2010,

LSE is very reputable academic institution...you must be very lucky to get a place there...its quite expensive as well, isnt it? especially if you are paying overseas rate....( i had to pay overseas rate all my life...was very tough...was just really meeting my ends with part time jobs..and obviously full time during when it is not term time....)...really tough...

I also heard aout LBS...(London School of business) . I heard they compete with LSE? is that right? I also know few of my friends did some business degrees at LBS and the rates over there were redicilously expensive (£30,000 per year)...but few of my friends fees were paid by thier emplyers...Investmkent banks...and one of my friends paid for LBS fee himself...in thinkiong it will pay him off later...which it did....he found a rally good jobin canary wharf....

I dont know anybody personally who did degrees at LSE...but I heard a lot that empoyers want just snap you up to give you job...emploers compete for you...thats what I heard anyway....

ILR-2010, you hve done your LLB - its a proper law degree, why you didnt go on to do your LPC? then your 2 year training contract?

I havent done LLB, although I did GDL (conversion) then got an acceptance place for LPC t BPP near Holborn....I had to drop LPC.....as their timetable was really not convenient for me...as I had my part time job and it was clashing...so money was important for me to survive...so had to drop it....so at the end I just lost interest...as I carried on with my part time jobs in finance....

you know if you wanna do your LPC...you can do part time or even full time at Thames Uni...one of my friends (who is practicing at the law firm) but he wants to qualify by LPC...he said THames Uni is very cheap..they charge very cheap for LPC...I am not sure whether you are interested in pursuing your LPC but just thought will let you know....

I am quite intriquied you want to do your Phd...it doesnt pay off later much...unless it is in mathematical subjects....then you will get snapped up by investement bsnks very easily...or unless you want to become and academician(professor) and teach and research at uni as a proper job.
which area you want to do in PhD? Is it economics as well?
I hope you wont get boored with your Phd. It is a very booring degree to do, in my experience anyway...you will be lucky if you will get a good supervisor....my supervisor was very picky...he would pick every single word I write and critisice it for 2 hours...I was always rewriting my drafts constantly...at the end I complained to Uni that he is never happy with what I write...and they change it to another one...he turned out to be muh better....so everybody have different experiencess...

HOw about your MSc in Economics..is it with the emphasis on mathematics?

Give it a break Cardi. We've sussed you. 8)

If anyone was to get their ILR rushed through based on eduction it would be beige. It appears she is a doctor (correct assumption??) and the UK needs good medical staff.

I may have too much time on my hands but I'm starting to think cardi and ILR_2010 are the same people. Same over use of "...." and the questions ILR_2010 asks seem to suit cardi.

I still maintain that someone who claims to be extremely highly educated at the prestigious UK universities their spelling wouldn't be so bad. I work for an investment bank and such bad grammar and spelling would not be tolerated esp in the "front office". You're facing very important clients therefore communication skills are very important. Part-time staff are also very rare. Investment banking is a very competitive environment for ALL staff which means working all hours of the day in an attempt to be seeing as overtly keen, once again, especially in "front office". Clients need to be able to contact you at all times.

But if this is genuine then may God strike me down ...

HOw about your MSc in Economics..is it with the emphasis on mathematics?
hi Cardi, the MSc Econ is extremely mathematical, but i enjoyed it, so I will pursue a phd in econ field; LLB was tough,since my first language is not English,you see, and I've done it for the sake of my parents; my heart still sides Economics. That's why I don't wanna take Bar or the LPC, though many of my coursemates continue their LPC at London College of Law and several of them have gone to Lincoln's Inn to pursue their BAR.

I want to work for international organisations, such as IMF/World Bank but they require ppl with phd for entry level economist position,so at least I need to be on yr one of phd programme to be able to intern there.
Yes LSE graduates are very employable, but IBs failed to impress me as the life-work balance workplace. I interned one summer in one of the IB doing IBD, i didn't like it at all, you know what the actual employee told me, for women especially:'if you aren't in it for the money,don't work for any IBs,cos one year in, you would've aged 5years.

so here I am, I don't need lots of money, thank my parents for that;I mean I respect others choices and totally understand how unfair this world is, don't let others get to you, because it's not worth it....

hmm maybe cardi is purposely ignoring all the "you are a fake" posts because she doesnt really care what other people think? I really hope what shes saying arent lies.. but if they are then what is the motivation behind making up something like that?!! I WANT to believe you cardi, but i must admit.. 2 and a half weeks is pretty surreal!!

Posted on the same day as cardi posted on here. Coincidence?

Can't read anything on this board so it's difficult to tell what this "other person's" story is and what the reaction was. Therefore can't compare the two. As the thread is 2 pages long I assume that it got the same reaction as here.

People want to believe Cardi but reading back he/she took it too far and made their story unbelievable. The last poster who had a quick response was very humble about it and didn't go and on about it. Also freely gave information on the documentation they included and the basis they applied on.

I hope that Cardi is telling the truth as I would hate to believe anyone could be so cruel. But it has made me wary of the validity of this thread.

I believe you Cardi..I have seen the HO do more stranger things.. and your story, which i hope is true even though many on here doubt it, atleast it gives the rest of us hope!

congrats again :)
Its the exact same story that was posted here.. Cardi and 'the other person' (on uk resident forum) = the same person.

The post on the other forum got 15 replies, 8 of which are from who I would like to believe is Cardi.

How could anyone think about deceiving so many people like that? It's cruel!! There are people here who are genuinely concerned about their future and receiving their ILR. It makes me want to :cry: To think of the abuse I got for my status, someone comes along and does this... mind you it was Cardi that was involved in that "attack".

Who here is a genuine 10 year applicant and who is here just to "wind" people up?
