The applicants are the husband and step children of Mrs O. They are the children of A1 who is married to Mrs O. Their mother is deceased. O had sought entry as the carer of an EU national then resident in Nigeria but now in the UK . She had been refused entry and so entry was refused to the applicants below on the basis of that.
(2) Appeal against the decision of the Upper Tribunal (Immigration & Asylum Chamber) promulgated on 9 November 2023.
The appellant is a national of Pakistan who applied for an EEA family permit as the dependant of her son who is an Irish national who was granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK under the EUSS. The application was refused and the First Tier Tribunal dismissed the appeal finding that she failed to establish dependency as a direct relative.
At the re hearing, the Upper Tribunal found that the First Tier Tribunal decision contained no error and or unfairness. The First Tier Tribunal was entitled to come to the conclusion regarding dependency from the evidence that was before him.
