Questão jurídica principal
Whether the false statement about retaining the 3-room apartment satisfied Art. 118(1) AuG because it concerned an essential fact.
Decisão extraída
No. The fact was not essential because the later 4.5-room family home with the parents was still adequate for family reunification.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 118(1) AuG requires a causal link: the authority must have refused the permit had it known the truth. Since the actual housing situation met the requirement of a suitable dwelling, the permit would still have been granted.
