Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible despite the general exclusion of review for discretionary residence permits.
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible because the father could invoke a protected family-life claim under Article 8 ECHR based on his settled residence in Switzerland and his relationship with the minor daughter.
Motifs extraits
A foreigner generally has no entitlement to a residence permit, but Article 8 ECHR can create a justiciable claim when close family members with settled status in Switzerland are affected and the family relationship is genuine and lived.
