A spousal sponsorship appeal succeeded on both the genuineness of the marriage and humanitarian relief from a misrepresentation finding.
The refusal had two grounds: the officer found that the marriage was not genuine and added a misrepresentation finding because the client had not disclosed a distant family relationship with her husband.
The record showed a genuine relationship pursued despite opposition from both families. The couple had already spent four years of their marriage separated.
The appeal first established that the marriage was a genuine love match. It then argued that even if the misrepresentation finding was legally valid, the humanitarian and compassionate circumstances justified special relief.
The tribunal agreed on both issues, found the relationship genuine, and allowed the appeal in full rather than leaving the couple subject to a further five-year bar.
A spousal sponsorship appeal succeeded after the tribunal assessed prior omissions in context and found that the marriage was genuine.
A spousal sponsorship appeal was allowed after the government discovered that the document said to be missing had been in its own file throughout the case.
A sponsorship refusal based on compatibility concerns was overturned after both spouses gave consistent and credible testimony.
