Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the spouse’s right to renewal of the residence permit had lapsed under the Foreign Nationals Act due to a long-term prison sentence.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. A sentence exceeding one year is long-term, so the entitlement to renewal lapsed.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 51(2)(b) in connection with Art. 43(1) and Art. 62(b) AuG applied because the husband was sentenced to 4.5 years’ imprisonment.
