Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal was admissible for a settlement permit under Art. 7 ANAG
Decisão extraída
The appellant could invoke a potential right to a settlement permit because he had completed five years of lawful stay based on the marriage before the divorce became final.
Fundamentação extraída
For Art. 7(1) second sentence ANAG, admissibility turns only on the formal duration of the marriage. The later divorce did not eliminate the already accrued claim for admissibility purposes.
