For the Appellant: Mr Brown of Counsel, instructed by Equity Law Chambers (Oldham)
The respondent appeals against a determination by First-tier Tribunal Judge Ransley promulgated on 7 November 2016. For convenience, I will continue to refer to the parties as they where in the First-tier Tribunal.
The appellant is a national of Pakistan who applied for leave to remain on the basis of his family life with his wife, a British national, and their child born in October 2014.
His application was refused on suitability grounds. He had submitted an English-language test certificate in a Tier 4 student application dated 28 March 2013. The test was taken on 24 April 2012 at the Synergy Test Centre, London. The test certificate was subsequently withdrawn by ETS on discovering widespread fraud at the test centre.
The appellant and his wife attended a marriage interview on 11 February 2015. On 26 October 2015 he attended a further interview to assess his credibility. The respondent concluded he had obtained his certificate by deception. This was on the premise the appellant arranged to have someone else take the test in his place and such conduct was relevant to the suitability grounds.
