OA167082012

The appellant, Roghayeh Imani Gourjagh, was born on 27 September 1966 and is a female citizen of Iran. On 15 August 2012, the Entry Clearance Officer Istanbul refused the appellant�s application for settlement in the United Kingdom as the spouse of a refugee, Eznollah Kamili (hereafter referred to as the sponsor). The First-tier Tribunal, in a determination promulgated on 18 April 2013, dismissed her appeal against that decision. The appellant now appeals, with permission, to the Upper Tribunal.

�� I find that [Mr Kamali�s] claim he wanted to bring his family here lacks credibility. If the appellant genuinely wished to claim asylum to have his family join him, I do not find it credible that, after claiming asylum, he would abscond for two years. I find the behaviour of the appellant seriously undermines his credibility.�

�[The sponsor�s] subsequent period of absconding in the United Kingdom [together with his actions in leaving the appellant and children in 2008 to make the journey to the United Kingdom] are not consisted with an ongoing subsisting relationship. There is no cogent evidence of any contact between the couple during those years.�

I find that the grounds amount to little more than dispute with findings which were available to the judge on the evidence before him. The grounds fail to identify an error of law such that the determination of the First-tier Tribunal should be set aide. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
