Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant had a right to family reunification for his minor children under the applicable old law
Decisão extraída
Because the children were still under 18 when the request was filed and the father was Swiss, a right existed in principle under the analogical application of former Art. 17(2) ANAG.
Fundamentação extraída
For admissibility, the relevant point is the date of the application. Under the old law, minor foreign children of a Swiss citizen could claim reunification if the statutory conditions were met.
