For the Appellant : Mr H Kannangara, counsel (instructed by Law Direct Immigration Advisors)
On 19 April 2016 the Upper Tribunal set aside the decision of the First-tier Tribunal Judge who dismissed the appellant's appeal against the respondent's refusal of his application for entry clearance to the UK pursuant to paragraph 301 of the Immigration Rules. The First-tier Judge had overlooked various documents including letters relating to his mother's (sponsor s) communications with, and her attendance at his school in Nigeria.
For this appeal to succeed, I must be satisfied on the balance of probabilities, the burden being on the appellant, that he satisfies the relevant requirements under paragraph 301 of the Immigration Rules. The single live issue is whether the appellant's mother has had sole responsibility for the appellant's upbringing.
I have had regard to the bundles of evidence produced by the appellant and the sponsor.
The appellant's mother, [MF] of [ ], Thornton Heath, attended the hearing and gave evidence. She adopted the contents of a joint witness statement made with her husband, [GE], in support of his appeal.
