              By my decision promulgated on 24 March 2023 I set aside the decision of the First-tier Tribunal. I now re-make the decision.
              The appellants are citizens of Nigeria. The first appellant is the mother of the other three appellants, all of whom are children. The first appellant married her husband ("the sponsor") in October 2018. The sponsor is a British citizen. He is not the father of the first appellant's children.
              In July 2019 the appellants applied for entry clearance to join the sponsor.
              In October 2019 their applications were refused for several reasons, including that the respondent did not accept that the relationship between the first appellant and sponsor was genuine and subsisting.
              Ms McKenzie and Ms Ferguson confirmed that there was only one remaining issue in dispute (given the findings of fact preserved from the First-tier Tribunal) which is whether the first appellant and sponsor are in a genuine and subsisting relationship. Ms McKenzie acknowledged that if I were to decide this issue in the appellants' favour the appeal would fall to be allowed.
