Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible under Art. 17(2) LSEE and Art. 8 ECHR.
Extracted holding
Yes, the appeal was admissible to the extent it concerned the children under Art. 17(2) LSEE; Art. 8 ECHR could also be invoked in principle.
Extracted reasoning
The mother held a settlement permit, the children were unmarried and minors when the request was filed, and the legal provisions could confer a claim. The older age of the twins mainly affected the merits, not admissibility.
