Then the answer is definitely yes
no it is not. The rules for dependents changed on 4th July, the fact that the CAS was issued before the 4th July is not relevent.
Paragraph
319C(i) sets out the cirumstances in which a dependent of a Tier 4 migrant may be granted entry clearance/leave to remain.
As the OP's wife is not currently here as his dependent, she may now only apply as his dependent if:
(4) the Relevant Points Based System Migrant must be a Government Sponsored student who is applying for or has entry clearance or leave to remain for a course of study that is longer than six months; or
(5) the Relevant Points Based System Migrant must be undertaking a course which is 12 months or longer in duration, and is of post-graduate level study, sponsored by a Sponsor which is a Recognised Body or a body in receipt of funding as a higher education institution from the Department for Employment and Learning in Northern Ireland, the Higher Education Funding Council for England, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales or the Scottish Funding Council
