REASONS FOR REFUSAL
"On xxx date you made an application for entry clearance to the UK under paragraph 297 of the immigration rules on the basis of your family life with NAMED SPONSOR.
Your application has been considered under those rules, and with reference to Article 8 of European Convention on Human Rights. The relevant immigration rules can be viewed on gov.uk here:
www.gov.uk.......
This decision takes into account as a primary consideration your best interests as a child, and those of any other relevant child, in line with section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and immigration Act 2009.
You have applied for entry clearance to join NAMED SPONSOR in the UK and you state that she is your mother. I note that you have not provided a completed Appendix 1 with your application. Whilst I am aware that this is not a mandatory document, it is useful as it sets out you and your sponsor's current circumstances and how you expect to meet the requirements of the immigration rules.
To evidence that your sponsor is your mother you have provided a birth certificate. This document states that the sponsor is your mother and I note that no father is listed. However, I am not satisfied that this document in isolation sufficiently demonstrates that you are related to your sponsor as claimed or she is solely responsible for you. I note that your sponsor applied for a student visa on DATE/2008 (reference number) and on her application she stated she had mo children. I note that you have provided evidence that your sponsor has sent you money in the last couple of years; however I note that you have provided no photos of you and your sponsor's together, or evidence that she has travelled to the Home Country since she arrived in the UK. It is also not clear what your current living arrangements in your home country are, or whether or not these are able to continue. I am not satisfied that one of your parents is present and settled in the UK and has the sole responsibility for your upbringing. I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 297(e)."
