Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible despite the general bar on foreigner permits without an enforceable federal right.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the father could invoke Art. 17(2) ANAG for his minor son with a claim to inclusion in the parents' settlement permit.
Extracted reasoning
A family-reunification claim exists for unmarried children under 18 of settled foreigners; the father's later Swiss citizenship did not extinguish it. The existence of a claim had to be examined on the merits.
