Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of family reunification for the appellant’s minor son violated Art. 17(2) ANAG or Art. 8 ECHR
Extrahierter Entscheid
No violation was shown; the appellant did not prove that he was the child’s primary family reference person or that the care arrangements had materially changed.
Extrahierte Begründung
Because the child had long remained abroad and the separation had been voluntarily maintained, a later reunification required strict proof of a dominant bond with the Swiss parent or compelling family reasons. The findings that the mother and grandparents could still provide care, and that the appellant’s assertions were unsubstantiated or contradictory, justified refusal.
