The appellant appeals with permission against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Nixon, who dismissed the appellant's appeal against the respondent's decision dated 22 November 2014, refusing his application for entry clearance to the UK for settlement as a dependent adult son of a former Gurkha soldier.
Permission was granted on the basis that it was arguable that the Judge erred in her approach to the question of whether family life was established.
The appellant claimed before the First-tier Tribunal that he had no other family in Nepal. His brother was settled in the UK, having successfully appealed against the refusal of his application.
The appellant was totally reliant financially on his father, and was living in rented accommodation paid for by him. He had no wife or children in Nepal. Until his parents came to the UK he had always lived with them.
The appellant could not meet the requirements under the Immigration Rules and confined his appeal to Article 8 grounds. The evidence contained in the witness statements was not challenged.
