Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal against refusal of family reunification was admissible despite general exclusions in foreigner law.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the husband could in principle claim a residence permit under Art. 7 ANAG and the wife could invoke family life protection under Art. 8 ECHR.
Extracted reasoning
Where a statutory or convention-based claim may exist, the refusal is a merits issue, not an admissibility bar.
