Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal administrative appeal was admissible for a family-reunification residence permit request
Decisione estratta
Yes, because the son was still under 18 when the reunification request was filed and a potential entitlement under family reunification rules made the appeal admissible.
Motivazione estratta
For age and entitlement, the relevant date is the filing of the request. If a stricter settlement entitlement could exist, refusal of the lesser residence permit could not stand.
