Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant's residence permit could be renewed and a settlement permit granted despite a long-term prison sentence for drug trafficking.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The permit refusal was lawful because a qualifying ground for revocation existed under the Foreign Nationals Act.
Extrahierte Begründung
A prison sentence exceeding one year qualifies as a long-term sentence; multiple sentences are not aggregated. That threshold was met here.
