2. Student dependant applications made in the UK or in your home country.
3. Family visit visas. For example if your parents want to attend your graduation.
4. Schengen visas if you are travelling in Europe for study or tourism.
5. Visa correction. If there is a mistake on the expiry date on your visa.
6. ATAS registration.
7. Registering with the police.
8. Working during your studies.
9. Working after your studies.

You can ask your question by emailing us, by attending a drop in session or, for more complicated questions and having your extension application checked, by attending an appointment with an adviser. Please see below.
