Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant had a principled entitlement to renewal of the residence permit and possible settlement permit under Art. 7 ANAG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Because the marriage lasted more than five years and he lived in Switzerland lawfully and continuously before the divorce became final, he in principle could claim a settlement permit and thus had standing to appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted standing based on the five-year marriage and residence period, following its prior case law.
