Thanks incognito.

The situation is now different. It is just one month left and my supervisors are suggesting to withdraw from the studies as they do not think that I will finish it. Thats right. They are not ready to believe that I will finish it. They think I need one and a half year to finish it. I told them that I will produce significant amount of work until the end of this month, just provide one last chance. They are saying that they will support me and take advice of SU but they are saying that they are certain that I will not finish. I accept that I was a bit slow and didnt produce much work. But even prisoners are given last chance.

The only options I have are, submitting until next month or quitting PhD

The research director just read the first para of my draft chapter and was of an opinion that it is not a good work.

I cant believe I have a huge debt and they are asking me to quit at the last moment. I have my mum and sister to support. I will lose my house if I wont get PhD.

God! Please help

Thank you so much haventogotaclue. You are so kind and your reply is so helpful. It would be too good to be true if everything what you said work out for me. As I mentioned above such kind of problems are too complicated for international students. Because apart from being a student we also have visa issues and I know I will lose A LOT if i will go back home without PhD.

I will keep updating this post! Thanks to you again.

Thanks to all who replied for taking time and warning me.

Update:
The meeting was more of horror than an anticipation. My supervisors and and the research director think that I need one and a half year to finish my thesis. All I asked for 6 months. I did have frequent dental appointments and my laptop also broke. But my supervisors do not have any faith in me. I couldnt stop and I cried in front of them. I told them that I can not leave without finishing my PhD. I have so much debt on my shoulders. My feet is cold, I am cold and tired of crying. Although my supervisors asked me to take help of SU. I dont know if anyone can help me out other than my supervisors. I pleaded them and I am in the terrible state at the moment.

Any advice or suggestion will be more than welcome.

Thanks Threeoflife and incognito for your insights! I think you both are right and I am more afraid. In no case I can afford not to get PhD and going back home means all kinds of distractions. I will be having a meeting with my supervisors and research director of my department and I guess they all will convince(force) me to withdraw. I am having sleepless nights....

@incognito, I did have medical reasons last time but not this time(however it seems as if this anxiety will lead me there again)

Will see what happens. Fingers crossed!

Hi Guys!

I am in so much confusion and stress. I am in the fifth year of my PhD in Social Science( I know it hurts to hear when PhD is longer than 4 years). I am an international student in the UK. I did have valid reasons to extend before because of my depression. But I am writing my thesis at the moment and I need 5-6 more months to finish my PhD. But my uni is so uptight. My supervisor asked me to withdraw and go back to my county until I finish my thesis and submit later. But this is insane! The first time I lost the link from my studies because I went back home. There is no question I will be able to finish my PhD staying away from uni, study group and friends here.

I wonder if any of you guys know if the uni can force me to withdraw? Because I clearly do not want to. I already have so many issues to tackle. I just need some more months. Please help!
