Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible despite the lack of a general statutory entitlement to the permit sought.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible because the sons were still under 18 at the time of the application and could invoke a prima facie entitlement under Art. 17(2) ANAG.
Extrahierte Begründung
For the age limit in child reunification cases, the relevant time is the filing of the application. Both children were under 18 then, so the Court could review the merits.
