I see no need for, and do not make, an order restricting reporting of this case.
This is an appeal by the appellant against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal to dismiss his appeal against the decision of the respondent refusing to grant him entry clearance for a family visit.
The appellant is a national of the Philippines born on 23 October 1954. He applied for entry clearance in order to visit his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren who live in the United Kingdom. His son-in-law is an Italian national. It was not clear from the papers before me whether the appellant's wife also lives in the UK. Mr Lot clarified that she, along with another of the appellant's daughters, lives in the Philippines.
The application for a family visit was refused by the respondent in a decision dated 9 May 2014 on the basis that not all the requirements of Paragraph 41 of the Immigration Rules were satisfied.
Shorty before making the application for a family visit, the appellant had applied unsuccessful for admission to the UK as a family member of an EEA national. In making this earlier application the appellant had informed the respondent that he only wished to visit the UK. The respondent was not satisfied that the appellant was wholly or mainly dependent on the EEA national. The refusal decision, dated 8 January 2014, was not appealed.
