Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal was admissible despite the immigration nature of the dispute.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The Court held the appeal was admissible to the extent the appellant could invoke an entitlement under Art. 42(3) AuG.
Extrahierte Begründung
A federal-law entitlement existed in principle because the five-year period was completed only after 1 January 2008, so the new law governed the requested settlement permit.
