VISA Renewal HELP

[swprox]

Hi guys, I was initially granted a four year student visa back in 2010 September, which was valid until 30th July 2014, now that I have just 12 credit hours left to graduate, and no summer courses available, I came to India for my summer break. I applied for the extension of my student visa on 29th April via VFS delhi, and my visa was granted on 2nd May.

The problem is, the new visa also has the same expiry date of 30th July 2014, as the previous visa. I am not able to make sense of what is the benefit behind they granting me a new visa with the same expiry date as the older one. And what should I do ? I originally had planned to return to Canada in September for the Fall Term, so should I re-apply again in Delhi asking them the reason for the same expiry date and requesting for a greater validity time so that I can graduate ? Also, has anyone ever got a new visa which has exactly the same date of expiry as the previous visa ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Usually visas are issued for 90-days past the study end date. What is your study end date on your documentation? If it is April 30, 2014 (which would be the end of your 4th school year) than the visa expiry date makes sense. What do you still have a semesters worth of credits left? Did you fail some classes? You may need to get something from the school letting CIC know you still have more classes to finish up your education

Well I changed my major after the first term, that's why I am left with 4 classes, I did not fail or anything. I did provide them with status letter from the university, which clearly specified my major, faculty and the time I required in the course.

And what I get no sense of is, why will they issue a visa with the same expiry as the previous one, it makes more sense to decline a visa rather than issue a new one which has the exact same 30th july end of validity.
