This is an appeal by the Secretary of State for the Home Department on behalf of the Entry Clearance Officer Islamabad (the ECO) against the decision of a First-tier Tribunal allowing the appeal of Farhan Rasheed against the Entry Clearance Officer's decision of 31 December 2014 to refuse him entry clearance to the UK as the spouse of Anisa Yasmein (the Sponsor).
For the purposes of this decision I shall hereinafter refer to the Secretary of State and the ECO as "the Respondent" and Farhan Rasheed as "the Appellant" reflecting their positions as they were in the appeal before the First-tier Tribunal.
The Appellant is a citizen of Pakistan born 23 rd May 1994. He applied to enter the UK as the spouse of his Sponsor Anisa Yasmein. The ECO refused the application on the sole ground that the Appellant was unable to satisfy the relevant parts of the Immigration Rules relating to the English language test requirement (Appendix FM E-ECP 4.1).
When the Appellant's appeal came before the First-tier Tribunal, Judge Grimshaw said the following:
"14. The single issue in this case is whether or not the Appellant met the English language requirements at the time of the decision taken by the Entry Clearance Officer. I have seen the English language certificate produced by the Appellant to support the application. The certificate was issued by City and Guilds on 4 March 2015, some two months after the date of the decision.
