What is the case that you are preparing for?
On which basis was permission granted?
Sorry, should've given more details. My BF applied for EEA4 based on his marriage to his ex wife. He was given the right to appeal, but don't know of the grounds.
The issue is that they had an Islamic Marriage, which was subsequently registered in Poland, Egypt and the UK, in the courts. His previous visa was granted on the grounds of this Marriage, but I don't know what visa that was.
This new visa application was based on a recommendation by his solicitor. He said that there would be no issues, so were shocked when the Home Office refused based on the fact they don't recognise the Islamic Marriage. Now I understand there is no legal recognition of Sharia Marriages. But it was registered in the courts, stamped and everything, and in Poland and Egypt.
The main grounds for appeal that the solicitor is going for is that he was given a visa before, based on the marriage. So why reject this one. My fear is that because it is a different type of Visa, the requirements are different.
Sorry, I know very little about immigration issues, and learning as I go. We are going to see his solicitor in a few weeks. I want to make sure that we are doing all we can before the tribunal. Are there any questions I should clarify with the solicitor?
Thanks in advance for any help
