The appellant is a citizen of Nigeria born on 17 th February 1974. She has not sought an anonymity order, and none has been made.
The appellant has a lengthy immigration history, set out in the papers provided by both parties and in the decision by First-tier Tribunal Judge Clough, promulgated on 8 th September 2015, dismissing the appellant's appeal.
The appellant had been in the UK lawfully since 2003 and had been lawfully employed. Dismissal from her employment led to fairly protracted proceedings before an Employment Tribunal, resolved eventually in her favour, but after the decision leading to these proceedings was made. The Employment Tribunal had to resolve difficulties over the orders which might be made, having regard to the appellant's immigration status.
The respondent's decision on that application is dated 19 th December 2014. It refers to the appellant's application as having been made on 27 th December 2014, but that appears to be an error.
The respondent's decision says that on 3 rd November 2014 the appellant had been asked to advise whether she still wished to be considered on an exceptional basis outside the Rules, or whether she wished to be considered within the Tier 2 route under which she had previously been granted leave. The decision says, "We requested your reply by 10 th November 2014. To date, we have not received any reply from you".
