This is an appeal to the Upper Tribunal by the Secretary of State, with permission, against a determination of the First-tier Tribunal (Judge Crawford) who in a determination promulgated on 13 th August 2014 allowed the Appellants� appeals against the Secretary of State's decision to refuse them leave to remain in the UK on the basis of their private and family life.
For the sake of continuity and clarity and I will, in this determination, continue to refer to Mr Asamoah and his wife as the Appellants and to the Secretary of State as the Respondent.
The Appellants are husband and wife and they have three children all born in the United Kingdom.
The Appellants� immigration history is nothing to be proud of in that both entered the UK in 2001 as visitors, clearly with no intention of returning to Ghana and the first Appellant has served a term of imprisonment for a criminal offence. The first Appellant made an unfounded asylum claim only after he came to the attention of the authorities in 2009. Their three children are a son born on 16th June 2005, a daughter born 30th December 2006 and a son born 24th March 2010.
Thereafter the Judge set out the applicable law in terms of Appendix FM and paragraph 276ADE. He also referred to section 117B of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (inserted by s.19 of the Immigration Act 2014). He set out the evidence he heard from both the Appellants and then his findings and conclusions.
