The appellant is a citizen of Serbia. He entered the United Kingdom on 17 September 2011 as a student on a visa valid until 30 January 2013. He subsequently made an application for further leave to remain as a Tier 4 Student.
The reason for the refusal was that the bank statements submitted to establish maintenance were not dated within 31 days of the application.
The appellant sought to appeal against that decision, which appeal came before First-tier Tribunal Judge Harrington on 26 September 2013.
The appellant accepted that he did not meet the Immigration Rules. He had a letter from his mother confirming that her money was available for his maintenance, this being a compulsory document which he had enclosed with his first application. He did not resubmit the document with the current application because he did not realise that he had to do so. Similarly he had submitted his previous bank account which was not one that met the time requirements of the new application.
Fundamentally the appellant went on to say that he had the money and if he had known to the contrary he would have submitted the correct documentation.
