Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the exclusion rule for immigration permits without a legal entitlement.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was admissible because, under the former ANAG, the appellant could in principle invoke an entitlement arising from a marriage lasting more than five years; the abuse question belonged to the merits.
Fundamentação extraída
Article 7 ANAG could confer a right in principle, so the case did not fall outside federal public-law jurisdiction at the admissibility stage.
