This is the Appellant�s against the decision of Judge Shimmin made following a hearing at Bradford on 23 rd November 2012.

The Appellants are citizens of Pakistan and the second Appellant is the dependent wife of the first Appellant.

The first Appellant was admitted to the UK to study on 25 th September 2007. His leave expired on 30 th November 2008. On 12 th February 2009 his application for leave to remain as a student was refused but on 13 th October 20010, following a successful appeal, he was granted leave to remain in the UK as a student until 16th January 2012. On 13 th January 2012 he applied for leave to remain in the UK as a Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) Migrant.

The Respondent refused the application on the basis that she was satisfied that the Appellant had supplied false bank statements, and that in his previous application for leave to remain he had submitted a postgraduate qualification in information technology from a college which had never offered a legitimate postgraduate qualification. Furthermore, his award from Anglia Ruskin University post-dated his application.

The Appellant sought permission to appeal in lengthy grounds, challenging the judge�s decision and restating that he had never used any deception with respect to the Cambridge College of Learning, had established that the bank statements were genuine and had tried to keep the Home Office properly informed by sending his provisional results before his visa expired.
