The Appellant appeals against a determination by First-tier Tribunal Judge Burns, promulgated on 7 th February 2014, dismissing his appeal against refusal of entry clearance as a spouse.
The ECO decided on 18 March 2013 that the Appellant could not benefit from paragraph E-ECP.3.3 of Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules, but gave no reason. That provision enables financial requirements to be met by showing that the applicant�s partner is in receipt of carer�s allowance, along with �evidence that their partner is able to maintain and accommodate themselves, the applicant and any dependants adequately in the UK without recourse to public funds.�
The Sponsor is in receipt of carer�s allowance, in respect of her disabled daughter.
In his Grounds of Appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, supported by an extract from a UKBA website, the Appellant maintained that he did fall within E-ECP.3.3 because his Sponsor is in receipt of carer�s allowance. The UKBA source continues, �You will need to show that your Sponsor can maintain and accommodate you without access to public funds�.
Notwithstanding those well focussed Grounds, a review by an Entry Clearance Manager dated 4 th September 2013 is in standard and unhelpful terms, maintaining the original refusal.
