The appellants, nationals of Afghanistan, appeal a decision promulgated on 27 January 2015 of First-tier Tribunal Judge Cohen who dismissed an appeal against a decision to refuse the appellants leave to enter the United Kingdom under Appendix FM. Permission to appeal was granted on 10 April 2015.
During the course of the hearing before the First-tier Tribunal, the appellants relied upon evidence obtained by Starck Uberoi LLP on their behalf which indicated City and Guilds had amended their records as to the appellant's date of birth at the request of the Test Centre.
c. He preferred the evidence of the respondent to that obtained by the appellants' solicitors.
d. He noted that the first appellant had failed an English language test twice before, that she signed her name with a thumb print and considered these matters undermined the sponsor's claim that she was well-educated.
e. He remarked that the sponsor, who had lived and worked in the United Kingdom for a decade, required an interpreter and he was from a similar background and area as the first appellant and as such she was "highly unlikely" to speak and read English to the required level.
