This is an appeal by the Secretary of State on behalf of the Entry Clearance Officer Abu Dhabi, against the decision of a First-tier Tribunal allowing Maryam Kousar�s appeal against the Entry Clearance Officer�s decision to refuse to grant her entry clearance to the United Kingdom as a visitor. For the purposes of this decision I shall hereinafter refer to the Secretary of State as the Respondent and Maryam Kousar as the Appellant, reflecting their positions as they were before the First-tier Tribunal.
The Appellant is a citizen of Pakistan born 1 st January 1969. She applied for entry clearance as a visitor with the intention of visiting close family relatives in the United Kingdom, including siblings. The date of the Appellant�s application to visit is 29 th October 2013.
The Entry Clearance Officer refused the application under the provisions of paragraph 41 of the current Immigration Rules because he was not satisfied that the Appellant was a genuine visitor who intended to leave the United Kingdom at the end of her visit nor was he satisfied that she could afford to pay for a return ticket to Pakistan.
The original grounds of appeal set out various reasons why the Appellant disagreed with the Entry Clearance Officer�s decision but did not specifically identify an appeal based on human rights or race relations grounds.
Judge Ince heard the appeal; took oral evidence from the Sponsor and went on to allow the appeal in the following terms.
