The answer is no. You can only use money in your name or your parent. Your father in law's money will not be accepted. Your wife may show money in her name to meet her maintenance requirement (but not her fathers as she is not the tier 4 migrant) see para 181 of the tier 4 policy guidance

Your wife can apply for tier 4 at any point. The issue will be getting a CAS.
The other issue will be your status and can you continue as a dependent on her. This will be the case for the children obviously too. Your last grant of leave was under DL so if you do not have tier 4 dependent leave there could be issues. 8) It all depends on what educational establishment she is considering and how long the course is.

It is not possible to switch from discretionary leave to Tier 4 under the rules, it's also not possible to switch from tier 4 dependent to tier 4 so making your wife the main tier 4 migrant is not going to work if she will be applying from inside the uk. If you didn't have tier 4 leave when your college closed so the 60 day rule doesn't apply.

Thank you Frontier mole and Greenie for your valuable feedbacks.
If not the 60 day rule HO should have granted my flr(o) coz
'The circumstances which I was granted discretionary leave remain same, when I applied the extension'
Anyways i am hoping for UT..I am waiting from dec2014.
SO if i get 28days for another application, no more options for me????

Hi @Greenie

Please clear this doubt for me. If UT refused my application that point my section3C ends and iam overstayed, which means iam not come under any category of leave.
So from this point, Is it possible to apply tier4 for me or my wife?????
