The claimant is a Pakistani citizen, born on 5 February 1988. He appeals against the decision of the Secretary of State for the Home Department dated 11 June 2013 refusing to vary his leave to remain in the United Kingdom and issuing directions for his removal under Section 47 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006.

Essentially it was for the claimant to show that for the requisite 28 day period he was in possession of at least �2,100 so as to satisfy the maintenance requirements as required by paragraph 1A of Appendix C of the Immigration Rules.

�The end date of the 90 day and 28 day periods ... will be taken as the date of the closing balance of the most recent of the specified documents, and must be no earlier than 31 days before the date of application.�

In support of his application the claimant submitted two documents. The first was a bank statement dated 19 April 2013 from Lloyds TSB and the second was a letter from Lloyds TSB dated 22 May 2013 showing that the level of funds on that particular day was �2,093.41.

�As the closing date of the bank statement submitted in support of your application dated 19 April 2013, you need to show evidence of �2,100 maintenance for 28 days from 23 March 2013 to 19 April 2013.
