Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible and to what extent the challenged decision could be reviewed
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible in principle because Art. 17(2) ANAG could confer a claim; however, only the cantonal court judgment was the object of review, not the earlier administrative decisions.
Motifs extraits
A settled foreigner may invoke a statutory family-reunification right for a minor child living with him, but the Federal Court could only review the judicial cantonal decision. Claims to annul the departmental and office decisions were therefore not entertained.
