B) If you are a student with a Student Visa who has been in the UK for less than 12 months, then you will need to show required balance and supporting documents, in order to get the CAS Letter. - In either of the cases mentioned above, we will fill your application from India and will also submit it online for further processing.

For Dependent Candidates
You can apply to extend your dependent’s visa at the same time as you extend your own visa.
- If you are applying as a dependent on the basis of the main applicant, who has been in the UK for 12 months or more, then you do not need to provide any supporting funds during the application.
