Our client, an Indian citizen, sought to reunite with her husband in the UK. However, her previous application was marred by the submission of false documents. The client’s application for the spouse visa was refused, and she wished to explore the option of appealing the decision, as she believed the documents were not false.
Despite our client’s setback, we recognised an opportunity to present a compelling case, asserting that the Entry Clearance Officer did not consider crucial evidence and failed to make necessary checks. We advised the client from the start on what documents were needed to demonstrate to the immigration judge that the Home Office had made an error.
As the appeal progressed, we put together a full bundle for the client, including a witness statement from both our client and her husband. The witness statement was a document outlining all the facts leading up to the hearing. We also included an Appellant’s Skeleton Argument (ASA). This term is used in reference to an outline of a case and a brief outline of the argument the given client will present at court.
We then instructed a barrister to attend the hearing.
The client’s appeal was successful. The immigration judge accepted our argument that no deception had taken place, and our client was granted permission to join her husband in the UK.
This positive outcome not only reunited the couple, but also reaffirmed our commitment to providing effective legal representation and achieving favourable results for our clients.
