Mr Md Abdur Rahim (Appellant) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Respondent)
Tuesday 30 June 2026
The Appellant appeals a decision of the Upper Tribunal, which had dismissed his appeal against the Secretary of State’s refusal of indefinite leave to remain (ILR). The refusal was based on suitability grounds, namely an allegation that the Appellant had used a proxy test taker in an English language test in 2012.
Although the Appellant submitted new evidence relating to his partner and three UK-born children, the Tribunal held that this was a “new matter” requiring the Secretary of State’s consent, which was not given. The appeal was dismissed.
