Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible despite the lack of a general federal entitlement to the requested permit duration.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because it concerned the modalities of an acknowledged residence entitlement of a foreign spouse of a Swiss citizen.
Extracted reasoning
The court treated the request as one about the duration of an existing entitlement under Art. 7 ANAG, so the same remedies applied as if the entitlement itself were disputed.
