For the appellant: Mr Olufemi Olajinmi, (working under the supervision of OA, solicitors)
This is an appeal, by the , against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (Judge Geoffrey Onoufriou), sitting at Hatton Cross on 17 April, to a dependent relative appeal by a citizen of Uganda, born 4 March 1995. The appellant had applied, well before he reached 18, to settle here with his mother, the sponsor, and needed to show she had sole responsibility for him, following her divorce from his father in 2002, and the ill-health which was said to have overtaken his grandmother, with whom he had been living, in 2010. He was refused a visa on 22 February 2012.
The judge found against the appellant on sole responsibility, for the reasons he gave at paragraph 18:
a. a letter from a local authority in Uganda, confirming that the appellant had been living with his grandmother, was not in proper form;
c. the appellant�s father had been involved, to the extent of getting a birth certificate for him in 2010.
