UK visa refusal on credibility grounds (longer visit than originally described)
I would like to enquire about the maximum length of stay possible for an individual with a 6-month UK visit visa. Although it's mentioned in the Home Office webpage that granting a 6-month visitor visa allows the person to stay for a maximum of 6 months , I've seen friends of mine who were refused a second visa as they previously stayed for 2 or 3 months during their first visit to the UK.
