IA162812014 & Ors

The appellants are citizens of China and are mother and daughters. The appellants entered on a transit visa in June 2003 when the second and third appellants were aged 14 � years old. They had all lived in Guyana since 1995 and returning there after a three-month visit to China. They overstayed beyond the terms of their visa, which gave them leave to remain until August 2003.

In December 2004 the first appellant�s husband (and the other appellants� father) entered the United Kingdom as a work permit holder and in March 2005 the first-appellant�s son (second and third appellant�s brother) joined him. The first-appellant�s husband and son were granted indefinite leave to remain in November 2009 and in 2012 they became British citizens. No application for indefinite leave was made for these appellants.

On March 7, 2013 these appellants applied for leave to remain outside of the Rules under article 8 ECHR but the respondent refused their applications on May 8, 2013. In February 2014 questionnaires were sent requesting details of the appellants� relationships with persons in the United Kingdom and March 19, 2014 decisions to refuse human rights claims and claims under the Immigration Rules were made and a decision to remove pursuant to Section 47 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 was issued in respect of all three appellants.

The appellants appealed under section 82(1) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 on April 2, 2014.

The matter came before Judge of the First-tier Tribunal Taylor (hereinafter referred to as the �FtTJ�) on July 22, 2014 and in a decision promulgated on August 4, 2014 he dismissed the appellants� appeals under both the Immigration Rules and article 8 ECHR.
