This is an appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Lingam promulgated on 21 January 2015 allowing the appeal of Ms Akter against a decision of the Entry Clearance Officer dated 16 June 2013 to refuse entry clearance to join her husband in the United Kingdom.
Although before me the Entry Clearance Officer is the Appellant and Ms Akter is the Respondent, for the sake of consistency with the proceedings before the First-tier Tribunal I shall hereafter refer to Ms Akter as the Appellant and the Entry Clearance Officer as the Respondent.
The Appellant is a national of Bangladesh, born on 7 January 1991. An application was made for entry clearance as the spouse of Mr Shah Alom, which application was refused for the reasons set out in the Notice of Immigration Decision of 16 June 2013. That refusal was taken both in respect of the financial requirements of the Immigration Rules and also the English language requirements. By the time the matter was before the First-tier Tribunal it seems that it was only the financial aspect of the Rules that was a live issue.
The Appellant appealed against the Respondent's refusal to the IAC. The First-tier Tribunal Judge dismissed the Appellant's appeal under the Immigration Rules but allowed the appeal under Article 8 of the ECHR for reasons set out in her Decision.
The Respondent sought permission to appeal which was granted by First-tier Tribunal Judge Ransley on 2 March 2015.
