Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible because a statutory entitlement to family reunification existed under ANAG.
Decisione estratta
Because the request concerned a child under 18 at the time of application, Art. 17(2) ANAG granted a principle-based entitlement, so the appeal was admissible.
Motivazione estratta
For the admissibility assessment, the relevant date was the family reunification request. At that time X. was still under 18, and the mother was a Swiss citizen; therefore a federal-law entitlement existed.
