OA222892012

The appellant is a citizen of Bangladesh born 22 August 1981. He applied for entry clearance as the dependent partner of a Tier 1 (Post Study Worker) pursuant to paragraph 319C of the Immigration Rules. This application was refused in a decision of 7 October 2012, pursuant to paragraphs 319C(g) and 320(7B) of the Immigration Rules, for the following reasons:

�You have submitted a bank statement from export Import Bank of Bangladesh Ltd, but all bank statements must be on official bank headed paper containing the bank�s logo, as required by the Immigration Rules. The statement that you have submitted does not bear the bank�s logo as part of the original headed paper of the bank. The bank letter you have submitted from the same bank does not show any funds balance. These funds had not therefore been taken into account�

In addition, your previous visa was cancelled and you were refused entry on arrival in the UK for using deception by making false representations in order to obtain your visa (see Dhaka/534448, submitted on 27/01/10). Your refusal notice was issued to you on 11/03/10 (see GAN/3138853) and you were removed on 18/06/10. I am therefore refusing entry clearance under paragraph 320(7B) of the immigration rules��

In a document of the 2 April 2013, an Entry Clearance Manager clarified the reasons for reliance on paragraph 320(7B) in the following terms:

�The appellant was refused at Port previously because of false representations made in relation to his student visa. It is submitted in the grounds of appeal that during the appellant�s previous student visa application, the college did not require any English language course for his admission. However, as is clear from the summary of the case, detailed in the attached IS.125 document, the Appellant made false representations to his college regarding his English language level, and therefore in relation to his application, and was refused under paragraph 321(a) [sic]��
