AP (Jerusalem) 725/03 - Rajub et al. v. Minister of Interior et al. Administrative Petition
Petition by HaMoked to grant an A/5 temporary residence visa to the husband of an Israeli resident. In 1994, the couple submitted a request for family unification, which was denied in 1997 because “it was not proven that their center of life is in Israel.” In that a few months earlier the respondent had granted the petitioners’ request to register their children in the population registry after being convinced that their center of life was indeed in Israel, HaMoked appealed the rejection, and in 1999, the respondent voided the rejection. However, the petitioner was not given a permit to stay in Israel – at first, he was refused for (unstated) security reasons, later because of neglect by the respondent’s office, and finally, even after it was decided to issue him a DCO permit, the respondent decided not to give him a higher status (contrary to his earlier promise), in light of Government Decision 1813. Thus, it was decided to grant the petitioner a DCO permit, but this, too, was not done.
