(Immigration and Asylum Chamber)������������������������������������ Appeal Number: IA/22654/2014

The appellant is a citizen of Bangladesh, born on 23 February 1987. She has been given permission to appeal against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal dismissing her appeal against the respondent�s decision to refuse leave to enter the United Kingdom.

The appellant arrived in the United Kingdom on 25 May 2014 with a visitor visa valid from 8 May 2014 until 8 November 2014. When questioned upon arrival by a Border Force Officer (BFO) she claimed that she was visiting a cousin for four weeks and had a return ticket for 25 June 2014. She said that her husband was in Bangladesh. She was unable to give full details about her sponsor and the BFO was therefore not satisfied that she qualified for the leave conferred by her entry clearance. Her leave to enter was suspended and she was required to submit to further examination.

Further to telephone contact with the appellant�s cousin, a search of her baggage which was found to contain a number of letters, greetings cards and photographs and an unsuccessful attempt to contact her husband in Bangladesh, the appellant was interviewed again by a different BFO. Following the interview, in which the appellant was asked about the whereabouts of her husband, Sheikh Mohammad Delowar Hussain, the BDO was satisfied that she had employed false representations in order to gain entry clearance and her entry clearance was accordingly cancelled.
