Key legal question
Whether the federal administrative appeal was admissible in light of the claimed statutory right to family reunification
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because, under Art. 17(2) ANAG, the daughter was still under 18 when the reunification request was filed and thus could claim inclusion in the father's settlement permit.
Extracted reasoning
Although foreign-police decisions are generally excluded when no federal right exists, the child had an enforceable claim under the ANAG based on her age at the time of the application.
