Or any considerations wotsoevr.

No, as the maximum single period outside of the UK is 3 months.

If you have lived together since she got here, I would expect you would be at or very close to the 2 year period required to qualify as an unmarried partner, unless she came some time after her visa start date. If she leaves on visa expiry (in fact she could stay up to an extra 28 days without penal...

That is correct, or look for a second job.

No

If you can extend your current visa, that is the best option. What will make it difficult is you cannot apply a multiplier to any earnings, even if they were earned in India. For a new application you will need to qualify under the current rules (stricter earnings criteria), and have to deal with th...

Great advice, attempt to deceive UKBA in an effort to hide something which is perfectly allowable.

If you are on Tier 2, that means you are earning your money in the UK not in India (even though you are paid in India as well)? Am I understanding your situation correctly? If this is the case, then you cannot use the uplift ratio. Most of the moderators and people on this board are giving wrong ad...

This may be applicable:

Why not? I know for a fact it can and has been done in the past, including on my own visa, although not through Delhi BHC.

My understanding was there was only to be a 5% reduction in number of visas issued - is this correct?

Maybe their is a deluge of people panicked by the current and impending changes? Or is it a case of their being a low number of applications ayear ago because of the masters requirement?

-I prepared an extensive application, including several hundred pages of relationship proof. Far in excess of what is required, if you meet the requirements for the visa (which you do not). -The application was rejected on the grounds that I had not "been living together in a relationship simi...

Overstaying in itself should not be classed as contriving to frustrate the rules - there must be aggravating circumstances. It sounds like your refusal is not justified on these grounds.

In hindsight it is, but I think the OP was getting confused between an ordinary masters, and an MBA, with both being distinct in relation to Tier 1 points awarded.

An MBA is not a masters.

Use the PBS calculator, it gives points for a Bachelors. Rules were changed in April this year.

Any new applications will be refused automatically on the basis of the previous rejection.

I think your only option is an admin review.

If people bring all the income from abroad while leaving here, they will defintely refused. AFAIK there is no reason someone cannot do this, with the proviso that a multiplier cannnot be applied to any such earnings. Also my understanding is if you were physically in the UK when you did the consult...
