Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a federal administrative law appeal was admissible against the refusal/non-entry decision in an immigration family reunification matter
Decisione estratta
The appeal was inadmissible in the merits because no federal-law entitlement to the requested permit existed; the unity of proceedings also barred review of the non-entry decision.
Motivazione estratta
A mere residence permit does not create a protected entitlement to family reunification under the relevant immigration rules or the ECHR. Without such an entitlement, administrative law appeal is excluded; related procedural rulings share that fate.
