VA113882013

I have considered whether any parties require the protection of an anonymity direction. No anonymity direction was made previously in respect of this Appellant. Having considered all the circumstances and evidence I do not deem it necessary to make an anonymity direction.

The Secretary of State for the Home Department brings this appeal but in order to avoid confusion the parties are referred to as they were in the First-tier Tribunal. This is an appeal by the Secretary of State against a decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Onoufriou, promulgated on 4 July 2014 which allowed the Appellant�s appeal under the Rules.

On 15 April 2013 the Appellant applied for entry clearance as a family visitor in order to see her husband the sponsor Steven Hooton a United Kingdom citizen she married on 5 January 2013. Her application was considered by reference to paragraph 41 of the Immigration Rules.

On 9 May the Secretary of State refused the Appellant�s application by reference to paragraph 41 9i) and (ii) of the Rules. The ECO noted that the Appellant was unemployed and totally reliant on her husband in the United Kingdom for financial support and that she had supplied insufficient evidence of her financial or social standing in her home country or that she had social ties by way of family members.

The Appellant submitted grounds of appeal that were apparently drafted by her sponsor. No further documentary evidence was submitted. He asserted that he and the Appellant intended to apply for a spousal visa and wished to see other again to build up evidence of their relationship; he advised the Appellant not to get a job as he would support her; they would not endanger the spousal visa by overstaying.
