Questão jurídica principal
Whether the children had a right to family reunification under Art. 17(2) ANAG and Art. 8 ECHR
Decisão extraída
The father had a general entitlement in principle, but the concrete conditions for a late reunification were not met because the children did not primarily bond with him and no significant change in care arrangements was shown.
Fundamentação extraída
For separated or divorced parents, a child's later admission requires proof of a primary relationship with the parent in Switzerland and special family reasons, such as a material change in caregiving circumstances. Here the children had lived with their mother, the alleged change was unproven, and the father could maintain contact from abroad.
