This is an appeal by the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO). However, for the purposes of this decision, I shall refer to the ECO as the respondent and Ms Sisodiya as the appellant, reflecting their positions as they were in the appeal before the First-tier Tribunal.
The appellant is a citizen of India, born on 5 June 1988. In September 2012 she applied for entry clearance to the United Kingdom as a Tier 4 (General) Student Migrant . Her application was refused on 8 October 2012 on the grounds that she could not meet the maintenance requirements in paragraph 245ZV(c) of the Immigration Rules. She lodged an appeal against that decision and, following an administrative review by an entry clearance manager, the decision was maintained.
The appellant�s appeal came before the First-tier Tribunal on 21 January 2014. Both the appellant and the respondent were represented. First-tier Tribunal Judge Callender Smith allowed the appeal under the Immigration Rules.
Permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal was sought by the respondent and granted on 2 April 2014 with regard to the issue of the judge�s jurisdiction in the appeal.
Mr Saunders submitted that the appellant had not appealed on human rights grounds, as was evident from the grounds specified in the Notice of Appeal, and accordingly there was no appeal before the judge.
