maybe because the total time spent in the uk is less than the duration of the 1st visa issued and it saves him the trouble of applying for an extension if the visa runs out before the total 5ys required for ILR are up

Congratulations and thank you very much for the post. It is indeed helpful for me as I am switching from Student dependent to HSMP holder. Going back home to get my EC...Can you suggest any more documents than listed above?
Also, I am not very clear for how long they will issue us a visa...any ideas?

Pabhi,
If you are going to apply for EC from India, it takes about 5-10 working days to get back your passport - provided you sumbit all the relevant supporting documentation and make it a straight-forward case for ECO.
regards
