Family Reunion Visa Appeal

Our client, Salahaldien, is a Sudanese national who was granted refugee leave to remain in the UK. In Aug *, He applied for family reunion visa for his wife and whilst the application was pending, his wife gave birth to their daughter, Aisha. The wife's visa was refused and went to appeal where the First tier tribunal granted her entry clearance on * Sep *. Salahaldien then made a family reunion application for Aisha on * Sep * for her to join him and his wife in the UK. This was refused by the Home Office on * Jun * citing the birth certificate being issued a year after birth as a reason to undermine its validity. The Home Office were not satisfied Aisha was his daughter. Salahaldien undertook a DNA test to further evidence his relationship as the father of Aisha and made a further family reunion application on * Feb *. At the time of application, he held indefinite leave to remain as a Refugee. The war in Sudan then broke out in April * and our client became worried for his wife's safety. There was still no reply from the Home office about his daughter's application. In July *, Salahaldien received his naturalisation certificate as a British citizen. The Home Office finally decided Aisha's application in Sep * citing the fact that the sponsor, Salahaldien, does not hold refugee status as he is a British citizen since * (which is wrong) and therefore he is ineligible as a sponsor. The Home Office also refused the Article * aspect of the application saying: "It’s important to note that Article * is a qualified right, not an absolute right. Therefore, an assessment should be made as to whether the individual’s Article * rights outweigh the wider public interest, including the impact on public services. In this case, although you have provided evidence to show that you have begun to form a family life with your sponsor, it is also recognised that this began after your sponsor acquired British Citizenship in *." This is despite Salahaldien's citizenship was acquired in July * and he held refugee status at the time of Aisha's family reunion application. Prepare an appeal skeleton argument for the upcoming tribunal highlighting the mistakes and injustice in the refusal. Cite any legal arguments and case law precedence that highlights the importance of sponsor's status at the time of application.
