IA265522014 & Ors.

The appellants are citizens of Nigeria. The first two appellants are applying to remain in the United Kingdom as Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Migrants under the points-based system, specifically paragraph 245 DD and Appendix A of the Immigration Rules. The remaining appellant is applying as a dependent and her status stands to be determined in line with that of the first two appellants.

I have considered whether it is appropriate to make an anonymity direction in respect of these proceedings. Having considered all the circumstances I do not consider such a direction necessary

This is an appeal by the appellants against the determination of First-tier Tribunal Judge W Grant promulgated on 24 September 2014, whereby the judge dismissed the appellants� appeals against the decisions of the respondent dated the 6 June 2014 to refuse the appellants further leave to remain in the United Kingdom and thereupon to make decisions to remove the appellants from the United Kingdom.

By decision made on 13 th October 2014 permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal was granted. The case appears before me to determine in the first instance whether or not there was a material error of law in the original determination.

According to the application forms submitted by the appellants, they were applying to remain as Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Migrants at NQF level 6. In section 3A G Attributes the appellants claim that they were employed as directors or engaged in business activity in an occupation at degree level (group d). Thereafter in the application form the job title as set out at G.24 of the respective application forms were Purchasing Officer/Director or Marketing Officer /Director, both with a standard occupational classification (SOC) at G.25 of 1133.
