The appellant is a citizen of India born on 6 th August, 1984. She entered the United Kingdom on 1 st July, 2009 as a Tier 4 Student with a visa valid from 22 nd June, 2009 to 11 th November, 2012. Further leave to remain was granted until 22 nd July, 2012 as a Tier 1 General Student.

The appellant was stated not to have any desire to return to India and to be extremely distressed by this prospect. She has now lost all connections with India. She and her husband live in the United Kingdom and they wish to remain in the United Kingdom. She promises to be law abiding and to continue to contribute positively to society. A maternity certificate was enclosed with the application along with what was said to be wedding photographs.

The Secretary of State refused that application in a letter dated 12 th August, 2013 and it was against the refusal of leave that the appellant appealed to the First-tier Tribunal.

Those grounds are confusing and confused, because they refer in part to the appellant being male and then they refer to her being female and refer to her having a family life, but nowhere do they refer to her having any children.

The judge noted that the appellant's previous solicitors had written indicating that they wanted to come off the record, since they were no longer acting and that the appellant wished to have her case decided on the papers. She did not attend the hearing on 12 th February. The judge noted the Secretary of State's reasons for refusing the application and that the appellant could not bring herself within the requirements of the Immigration Rules.
