For the Appellant: Ms N Nnamani of Counsel instructed by Samuel Louis Solicitors
This is an appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Beg promulgated on 14 February 2018 dismissing the appeal against a decision of the Respondent dated 7 August 2016 refusing to grant a permanent residence card under the EEA Regulations.
The Appellant is a citizen of Nigeria born on 2 November 1971. It is unnecessary for present purposes to rehearse his full immigration history: suffice to say that pursuant to an application made in October 2010 he was granted a residence card from 7 February 2011 until 7 February 2016 on the basis of his relationship with his then wife Ms Roxanna Astanilze Schotsborg (d.o.b. 1962), a national of the Netherlands.
The Appellant applied for a permanent residence card on 5 February 2016. He made his application on the basis of a retained right of residence following divorce. He was married to Ms Schotsborg on 19 April 2008; he has indicated that divorce proceedings were commenced on 1 October 2015; a decree nisi was pronounced on 15 February 2016, and a decree absolute - a copy of which is to be found in the documents on file - was pronounced on 30 March 2016.
The Respondent refused the application for reasons set out in a 'reasons for refusal' letter ('RFRL') dated 7 August 2016.
