This is an appeal by the Appellant, a citizen of Somalia, born on 15 June 1996, against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Robinson, who sitting at Hatton Cross on 24 October 2014 and in a determination subsequently promulgated on 5 December 2014, dismissed the appeal of the Appellant, against the decision of the Respondent dated 24 February 2014 to refuse her application for an entry clearance as the child of a relative present and settled in the United Kingdom.
In refusing the Appellant�s application, the Respondent took account of the basis upon which the Appellant�s previous application for entry clearance had been refused in a decision dated 24 June 2011, to join the same Sponsor in the UK.
It was noted in terms of the present application that the Appellant claimed that her mother had abandoned her in Ethiopia, in order to assist her sister.
In that regard, the Entry Clearance Officer considered that the Appellant had provided inadequate evidence to satisfy him that this was the case and in any event it was not understood why the Appellant�s claimed mother would not take the Appellant with her on her travels, given that she was a minor.
It was further noted that the Appellant had failed to provide any evidence that she had registered as a refugee in Ethiopia and that were she genuinely residing in serious and compelling circumstances, she would have been expected to have sought the assistance of the authorities.
