For the Appellant: Ms P Yong of Counsel, instructed by Davies, Blunden and Evans Solicitors
The Appellant appeals against a decision of Judge of the First-tier Tribunal Walker promulgated following a hearing on 10 th September 2014.
The Appellant is a male Ghanaian citizen born 8 th November 1996 who applied for entry clearance to the United Kingdom as the adopted child of a parent present and settled in this country. I shall refer to the parent as the Sponsor, who is a male British citizen.
The application was refused on 2 nd August 2013, the Respondent not being satisfied that the application met the requirements of paragraph 310 of the Immigration Rules, and in particular sub-paragraphs (i)(e)(vi), (vii), (x), and (xi).
In giving reasons for refusal the Respondent accepted that the Sponsor is a British national settled in the United Kingdom. It was noted that an adoption order dated 9 th August 2012 had been made in Ghana and submitted with the application for entry clearance. It was noted that the Appellant appeared to be 16 years of age at the time of adoption.
