Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the settlement permit was obtained by false statements or intentional concealment of material facts under Art. 9(4)(a) ANAG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Concealing the existence of children born during the marriage concerned material facts relevant to the immigration decision and meant the permit was unlawfully obtained.
Extrahierte Begründung
The applicant knew the children and their birth during his marriage were immigration-relevant; disclosure would have triggered further inquiry into the relationship with their mother and the permit would not have been granted.
