The Appellant Biruk Ytayal Negatu is a national of Ethiopia, now resident in Uganda. He has been given permission to appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Hands, dismissing his appeal against the Respondent's refusal of 1 st April 2014 to grant him entry clearance to the UK for family reunion.
The Appellant applied, in March 2013, for entry clearance to the UK to join Hiwot Gebru (the sponsor) who had been granted refugee status here on 31 st May 2013. She is a national of Eritrea. After leaving Eritrea she travelled to the United Kingdom via Yemen, Saudi Arabia (where she stayed for two years working illegally) and France.
The Appellant's application was refused on the grounds that he could not meet the requirements of paragraph 352A of the Immigration Rules (spouse/civil Partner of a refugee) and that there were no exceptional circumstances justifying a grant of leave outside the Rules.
In coming to her decision to refuse the application, the Respondent took into account the following facts and factors:
� The Sponsor had claimed asylum on the basis of her fear to return to Eritrea on account of her Christianity.
