Entry Clearance Officer, New York v F (Para 320; Type of Leave) USA: UTIAC 7 Jun 2013

UTIAC 1. Paragraph 320(18) requires a two-step approach. The sub-paragraph itself requires an assessment of whether there are no ‘strong compassionate reasons’ before it applies at all; if it does apply it is discretionary because of the internal heading above para 320(8).
2. It may be necessary to ensure that, if an appeal is allowed, it is allowed on the correct ground, because that may have an impact on the reasons for any grant of leave, which itself may impact on any future attempt at renewal.
