Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of cantonal legal aid for the residence-permit appeal was unlawful because the appeal had sufficient prospects of success.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal before the cantonal court was rightly considered hopeless on a summary review, so legal aid could be refused.
Extrahierte Begründung
A residence-permit claim based on family life was not plausible, and long residence alone did not show especially intensive private ties in Switzerland. Given the lack of substantiated social or economic integration, success prospects were far below the risk of failure.
