Visa Refusal Overturned

Our client is a UK national living in Ireland whose partner lived in Africa. The parties weren’t married which made it difficult to establish that the partner was a family member within the meaning of the EU Treaty on the Free Movement of Union Citizens. The initial refusal decision was unsatisfactory but a carefully prepared appeal was successful and the visa will now issue. Sarah McDonald solicitor oversaw the appeal drafted by Evgheni Buiuc.
