Question juridique clé
Whether the settlement permit was revoked lawfully under Art. 9(4)(a) ANAG for obtaining it by deceit.
Solution extraite
Yes. Concealing the birth of a child conceived during a parallel relationship was a material omission that misled the immigration authorities and satisfied the ground for revocation.
Motifs extraits
The applicant had a duty to disclose facts relevant to the permit decision. The second child's birth was objectively material, and disclosure would have prompted further inquiry into the parallel relationship and the loss of the family-reunification basis for the permit.
