Question juridique clé
Whether the daughter was entitled to a residence permit through family reunification under Art. 17(2) ANAG and Art. 8 ECHR.
Solution extraite
No. The request did not serve genuine family reunification; the daughter had long been left behind, was already largely independent, and the circumstances did not justify a right to admission.
Motifs extraits
The purpose of Art. 17(2) ANAG is to let parents raise and care for their children themselves. The courts found that the permit was sought mainly to secure the daughter's stay and work prospects in Switzerland, not to restore family life.
