In this appeal, the appellant approached ICS Legal at the completion of his 20 years residency in the UK. The application was filed with statements and evidences, with legal grounds on the completion of 20 years. This was refused with a right of an appeal. ICS Legal appealed the decision.
In terms of the background, the appellant was a national of Ghana and entered the UK when he was a minor. At the time of his entry relied on his family who had supported his entry to the UK and did not have all the evidences to prove his continuous residency in the UK.
The appeal matter went before the Honourable Immigration Judge Head, the appeal was done on CVP and both the appellant & sponsor had attended the hearing. The Judge heard oral evidences from both and accepted that the appellant was a credible witness.
The Judge states the following:
“I find, having benefitted from the oral evidence of the appellant, that he was candid in the manner in which he answered questions and I accept him to be a witness of truth, I place weight upon his testimony.”
In all appeals, the oral evidences from the appellant and sponsor, alongside with evidences allows the appeal in most instances, in favour of the appellant.
ICS Legal put forward to the Judge in our submissions and the evidences, setting out how the appellant entered the UK. The Judge agreed that there were sufficient evidences alongside the appellant’s oral evidence, and then allow the appeal.
