Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible and the father had a statutory right to child reunification.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Because the son was under 18 when the request was filed, a right under Art. 17(2) ANAG was in principle available; the appeal was therefore admissible on that basis.
Extrahierte Begründung
For the admissibility review, the relevant date was the filing of the request. A foreign child of a settled parent may be included under Art. 17(2) ANAG, applied analogously to the child of a Swiss citizen.
