       The Appellant, a citizen of Iraq born on 17 December 1982, appeals with permission a decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Fisher ('the Judge'), promulgated following a hearing at Newcastle on 14 February 2024, in which the Judge dismissed his appeal against the refusal of further submissions seeking permission to remain in the United Kingdom on the basis of his private life. The application was made on 22 April 2023 and refused on 16 May 2023.
       The Judge's findings are set out from [9] the decision under challenge. The Judge refers to an earlier determination of First-tier Tribunal Judge Sacks which formed the Judge's starting point for his deliberations.
       The Judge was satisfied the Appellant had retained social and cultural ties to Iraq which would assist in the process of reintegration. In relation to documentation the Judge writes at [20]:
       The Judge did not find the apparent lack of original ID documents to amount very significant obstacles to the Appellant's reintegration into Iraq [21].
       Having found the Appellant cannot succeed under the Immigration Rules the Judge considers matters outside the Rules, before concluding at [26] that any interference in a protected right is proportionate.
