Questão jurídica principal
Whether the residence permit had to be extended after the marital separation.
Decisão extraída
No; the appellant could not rely on the marital-spouse entitlement because the common life lasted less than three years and no important personal reasons justified continued stay.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the family union had definitively ended in January 2011. Because cohabitation in Switzerland lasted less than three years, Art. 50(1)(a) AuG did not apply. A post-marital hardship situation was also denied: integration alone is insufficient, and return to Egypt was considered possible and reasonable.
