Thanks Vinny.....so you mean I should not report it when I fill in my application form?

Guys,

I applied for Post Study Visa while I was in the UK and it was first rejected and then refused. Does that mean I was rejected a visa or leave to remain? I ask because if I want to visit any other country they will ask me if I was rejected a visa before?

The problem here is that the OP applied uplift factor to overseas earnings when he wasn't supposed to. By your logic, majority of people working in UK for Indian ...
