Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal against refusal of a settlement permit and non-renewal of a residence permit was admissible
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible in principle because the case fell within the statutory category of appealable immigration decisions involving a foreign spouse of a Swiss citizen married for more than five years.
Extracted reasoning
The statutory appeal route applied to cantonal final decisions on non-renewal of a residence permit and denial of a settlement permit for a foreign spouse; the appellant met the formal marital condition.
