Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal administrative appeal was admissible in a family reunification case under Art. 17 ANAG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible because the mother, as a settled foreign national, had a statutory entitlement to the reunification of her minor children under Art. 17(2) ANAG.
Extrahierte Begründung
Although foreign residence permits are generally discretionary, Art. 17(2) ANAG grants minor unmarried children of settled foreigners a claim if they live with the parent and are under 18 at the time of the application.
