Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal of residence permits for the appellant's two daughters violated the right to family reunification under Art. 17(2) ANAG and Art. 8 ECHR.
Decisão extraída
The refusal was lawful because the children had been mainly cared for by their mother and aunt, and no decisive change in custody or dependence was shown.
Fundamentação extraída
For a belated family reunion of children of separated parents, the decisive factor is whether the requesting parent has become the child's main reference person and whether the caregiving situation has materially changed, not merely whether living conditions in Switzerland would be better.
