IAT The burden of proving that a marriage is not a ‘marriage of convenience’ for the purposes of the EEA Regulations rests on the appellant: but he is not required to discharge it in the absence of evidence of matters supporting a suspicion that the marriage is one of convenience (i.e. there is an evidential burden on the Respondent). See also AG [2007] UKAIT 00075. (2) An EEA family permit is not ‘Entry Clearance’ and so is not caught by s 85(5).
