I did my viva on Nov 2011 and I was given three months for corrections (minor corrections), but for personal reasons (my dad was in the hospital in my country the examiners extend it to six months. However, my dad health condition improved so I decided not to go and to finish my work. By the end of January 2012 I sent my corrections to my supervisor to see it and than pass it to the internal examiner and till now I haven't get his reply. at first I was told his a way for a week conference and when he came back he told me he will look at it but again he went to another two weeks conference. when he come back his mother pass away so I have to wait additional two weeks. Last week I talked to my supervisor and he told me everything will be clear by Friday, but I haven't get any reply yet. I sent him two emails this week and no answer. My supervisor told me he is away from the department for two weeks. what shall I do. The deadline is 10 of May and I have no idea on what is going on.

Sorry to hear you've had so many problems! Can you ring your supervisor instead or physically go to uni and see him? The thing is, it is Easter now and most academics are away for the majority of that period on leave. Try ringing him today if you can and catch him before he goes, as you need an answer.

Also, is there noone else you can approach for help? Is there a postgradute centre you can contact? Anything at all for postgraduate students? Who did you submit to? Can you contact them? I totally understand your concerns on this one, I hate it when people don't reply, when you're relying on them to do something for you.

And - congratualtions on passing! (up)

Thank you for your helpful post. Yes, during these two months I met my supervisor several times asking for the outcome and his answer is that 'This is not your fault'. I've told him my sponsor will stop funding me by the end of April, also from this month I have to pay the council tax (I don't have a job), but nothing change.

You need to talk to someone at the university about this really, there must be a student support unit. I hope it gets sorted for you.
