             This is an appeal raising the issues addressed in Celik v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2023] EWCA Civ 921 (" Celik (Court of Appeal) ").
             By a decision promulgated on 23 June 2023 First-tier Tribunal Judge C. Scott ("the judge") dismissed an appeal brought by the appellant, a citizen of Albania, against a decision of the Secretary of State dated 20 July 2021 to refuse his application for pre-settled status under the EU settlement scheme ("the EUSS"). The appellant now appeals against the decision of the judge with the permission of First-tier Tribunal Judge Buchanan.
             We informed the parties at the hearing that the appeal would be dismissed with written reasons to follow, which we now give.
             On 12 May 2021, the appellant applied for pre-settled status under the EUSS. The application was refused, and it was that refusal decision that was under appeal before the judge below.
             In reaching those conclusions, the judge applied Celik (EU exit; marriage; human rights) [2022] UKUT 220 (IAC) (" Celik UT "). Shortly after the promulgation of her decision, the Court of Appeal heard the appeal in Celik . Its decision (which was handed down on 31 July 2023) was not available to Judge Buchanan when he granted permission to appeal by his decision dated 13 July 2023, but the fact it had been heard was the sole reason he gave for granting permission to appeal.
