General visitor visa refusal

[murali.lalitha]

My mother-in-law applied for a two-year general visitor visa in March 2013 as she wanted to visit her son in the UK. On April 18, she received a refusal of entry clearance letter which stated that the ECO "is not satisfied that you intend to leave the UK at the end of the visit as stated by you; and do not intend to live for extended periods in the UK through frequent or successive visits."

We have decided not to appeal and instead to apply again. Our questions in this regard are as follows:
1. Can we apply for a 6-month general visitor visa now? Is that allowed?
2. Is there any time that should elapse between refusal of visa and re-application?
3. Will this new application continue to be rejected on the basis of the earlier one? Or will they look into this application as a fresh case?
4. Do we have to clarify/address all the issues raised by them in the refusal letter?
5. My mother-in-law is employed. She has already furnished an NOC from her employer which states that she would return to work after her 6-month stay in the UK. Is this sufficient or should we show any other document to strengthen the new application?

Thank you.
