For the Respondent: Mr R Solomon of Counsel instructed by Shanthi & Co, solicitors

The Respondent, to whom I shall refer as "the Applicant", is a citizen of Kenya born on 28 July 1978. Her several applications for entry clearance to the United Kingdom are briefly described in paragraph 1 of the decision by Judge of the First‑tier Tribunal Peter‑John White promulgated on 8 January 2016 allowing her appeal against the refusal on 11 November 2014 by the Appellant (the ECO) to grant her entry clearance to join her husband Daudi Md. Yusuf, a national of Kenya, born on 1 July 1959, to whom on 7 October 1991 indefinite leave was granted.

They had married in Mombasa on 16 December 2011. He is her Sponsor. He has an adult daughter by his previous marriage who lives with her mother. He has a son born in 1999 who lives with him and in respect of whom a Parental Responsibility Order in his favour was made on 27 November 2000.

On 16 July 2015 the Entry Clearance Manager reviewed the decision. The record of the review is in formulaic terms.

By the decision promulgated on 8 January 2016 already mentioned, the Applicant's appeal was allowed under the Immigration Rules. The Judge found that the evidence of the Applicant's husband was credible and reliable as was the evidence of his son. The Judge concluded the Applicant's marriage was genuine and subsisting and allowed the appeal under the Immigration Rules.
