Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible despite the general exclusion rule in foreign police matters.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible because the applicant could still invoke a potential statutory entitlement to a settlement permit under the former marriage-based provision.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court assessed admissibility by the legal and factual situation at the time of judgment. Since the marriage had lasted more than seven years and the applicant had lived lawfully and continuously in Switzerland during that period, a claim to settlement permission was in principle still possible notwithstanding the later divorce.
