Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal against refusal of family reunification was admissible under federal law
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the applicant had a statutory claim under Art. 17(2) ANAG for his minor sons at the relevant time.
Extracted reasoning
The sons were still under 18 when the reunification request was filed, so the case fell within the exception to the general exclusion of administrative appeals in immigration matters.
