Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible under Article 8 ECHR despite no general right to a residence permit.
Solution extraite
Yes, because the applicant had close and effective family relations with his minor daughter who had settled status in Switzerland.
Motifs extraits
Article 8 ECHR can found a right to a residence permit where the foreigner has an intense and actual relationship with a family member entitled to reside permanently in Switzerland; daily contact with the daughter satisfied that threshold.
