Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal could challenge the Federal Office's decision directly and seek a new settlement permit
Decisione estratta
The direct challenge to the Federal Office's decision was inadmissible because of the devolutive effect, and the request for a settlement permit was a new request not raised below.
Motivazione estratta
Only the residence-permit request could be examined; a settlement-permit claim exceeded the prior requests and was therefore new under the Federal Supreme Court Act.
