For the Appellants: Mr A Cooray, instructed by the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants
The appellants are mother and two children, born on 19 December 1967, 7 September 2006 (the first child was 7 years old when the decision of the SSHD which is the subject of this appeal was made) and 20 December 2013 respectively and citizens of Nigeria. They appealed against the respondent's decision made on 2 May 2014 refusing them leave to remain in the United Kingdom further to Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The first appellant entered the United Kingdom as a visitor on 29 October 2004 but overstayed when her visit visa expired on 1 March 2005. Both the second and third appellants were born in the United Kingdom. The appellants' applications for leave were made on 21 October 2013. At the date of application the second appellant was over 7 years old.
On 24 December 2013 the first appellant�s application was refused with no right of appeal but on 8 April 2014 the respondent wrote to request further information and then served the appellants with IS151A notices prior to refusing their applications. This gave a right of appeal, which the appellants exercised.
The appellants� appeals came before First-tier Tribunal Judge Metzer on 20 th January 2015 and he proceeded to dismiss their appeals on human rights grounds on 29 th January 2015.
