Answer 2

you may try, but if you visa is expiring jan 8th, you will have to apply back in India, since you are not a resident of the UK:you asked if you can get your visa extended? it all depends if you have another school to attend, the financial situation and lots of others circumstances.here read this:

How to Extend Your Student Visa

When do I need to extend my student visa?

Make a note of your visa expiry date. Don't leave things until the last minute! You should allow plenty of time to prepare your form and documents. Start 6 weeks before your visa runs out. Forms are available anytime from Student Services Reception – please ask for a Visa Pack.

Your visa application can be posted to the Home Office - the application must arrive at the Home Office before or on the last day of your visa. You can post the application yourself (send by Special Delivery from the Post Office), or the University of Paisley can post your application for you through the Home Office Student Batch Scheme. This is a fast-track scheme for student visas only. They will accept applications anytime so long as you fulfill the student visa requirements – you don't need to wait until your visa is almost expired.

if you do get an extension? then you may ask for a visa for the US from the UK,

if not? you will have to apply from you country in India;
