This appeal is not subject to an anonymity order by the First-tier Tribunal pursuant to rule 13 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) Rules 2014. Neither party has invited me to make an anonymity order pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 (SI 2008/2698) and I have not done so.
The appellant appeals against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (Judge Cox) dismissing the appellant's appeal against a decision taken on 27 March 2015 to refuse further leave to remain under paragraph 245ZX(c) of the Immigration Rules ("the Rules") and to remove the appellant from the UK.
The appellant is a citizen of Pakistan born in 1990. He made an application on 10 April 2014 for further leave to remain in the UK as a Tier 4 general migrant. That was based upon a CAS for a Diploma in Leadership and Management at Kinnaird College. The sponsor licence for Kinnaird College was revoked on 25 June 2014 and the appellant was given 60 days to submit a fresh application on 21 January 2015. The appellant subsequently did so.
The Secretary of State decided on 27 March 2015 that the CAS submitted with the application was assigned by the London School of Business and Finance ("LSBF"). The Tier 4 sponsor register was checked on 27 March 2015 and LSBF was not listed as a Tier 4 sponsor as of that date. The refusal letter states that the appellant was informed of that on 21 January 2015 and allowed 60 days to obtain a new sponsor. No new CAS had been provided. As the appellant was not in possession of a valid CAS his application was refused.
The appellant appealed to the First-tier Tribunal and his appeal was listed for oral hearing in Birmingham IAC on 19 August 2015. He was not represented and did not attend. The First-tier Tribunal found that the appellant had submitted a CAS with his application that was issued by LSBF. That turned out not to be valid because LSBF was not on the Tier 4 sponsor register as of 27 March 2015. The appellant's position was quite hopeless and the appeal was dismissed.
