Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrative law appeal against refusal of a residence permit was admissible.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was admissible because, while the spouses were separated, the marriage formally still existed and Article 7 ANAG in principle conferred a right to the permit.
Fundamentação extraída
A formal existing marriage gives a statutory entitlement despite separation; therefore the statutory exclusion for permits without federal entitlement did not apply.
