Family reunion and human rights: KF (Syria) overturned in new Upper Tribunal decision – EIN Blog
‘In the newly reported Upper Tribunal decision in Al Hassan & Ors. (Article 8; entry clearance; KF (Syria)) [2024] UKUT 00234 (IAC), my client, a Syrian national, arrived in the UK through a resettlement scheme. She applied to be reunited with her siblings, as well as her nieces and nephews. This was through the standard family reunion route, outside of the Immigration Rules. Our point, inter alia, was that KF and others (entry clearance, relatives of refugees) Syria [2019] UKUT 413 (IAC) was wrong in law to only look at the sponsor’s rights, as well as the argument that the risk of refoulement in a family reunion appeal surely has to be the biggest interference in family life.’
