Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal administrative appeal was admissible despite the immigration-law exclusion clause.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because the claimant, as a Swiss citizen, had a potential right to family reunification, so federal administrative law was at stake.
Motivazione estratta
A Swiss citizen may have a principled entitlement to the admission of his minor child; therefore the statutory exclusion for discretionary foreign-police permits did not apply.
