OA014652013

The appellant is a female citizen of Pakistan who was born on 1 st January, 1987. She is married to the sponsor, Sajiid Rasool and applied for entry clearance as his wife.

On 21 st November, 2012, the respondent refused the appellant�s entry clearance application under paragraph EC-P31(d) of Appendix FM of Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules, HC 395, as amended (�the Immigration Rules�). The respondent referred to the documents specified in the Immigration Rules at Appendix FM-SE and refused the appellant�s application, because the appellant had not submitted all the required documentation to demonstrate her sponsor�s income was as claimed.

The appellant appealed and her appeal was heard by First-tier Tribunal Judge Brookfield who, in a determination promulgated on 6 th November, 2013, allowed the appellant�s appeal under the Immigration Rules.

The respondent�s application referred to the date of the application being 21 st November, 2012, whereas, of course, it is actually 30 th September, 2012. This is clear from the copy of the printed application which appeared in the respondent�s bundle.

I heard submissions from Mr McVeety, who explained that since the required documents had not been provided with the application, the Entry Clearance Officer had refused it. Subsequently, documents were submitted by the appellant with his grounds of appeal but, he pointed out, these were not admissible and should not have been considered by the judge.
