I live in India since 2005 August. first by "student" then by "research" visa. as research visa is for phd students in India i already completed my phd course. my visa will be expired in end of July 2011. i would like to know there any way to take some type of visa to stay India for more? I consolated with a lawyer he told me there is no way. and i have to leave India. that's why: 1- i have being in India by research visa. after finishing phd course there no way to take another visa. (only business visa that i can not afford it. or get marriage to an indian.) 2- i am holding Iranian passport. if i had other nationality i could take permanent visa to stay in India. but because of my nationality i can not.
but i hope there is some other way (out of bushiness or marriage visa) to stay more in this country at least for 1-2 years more.
