Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible for review of the refusal to exempt the applicant from foreign quota limits and for a work authorization
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible only insofar as it challenged the refusal of the exemption under Article 13 letter f OLE; it was inadmissible to the extent it sought a direct residence or work permit.
Extracted reasoning
No federal-law or treaty right to a residence permit existed; the immigration treaty with Colombia did not grant such a right. The exemption decision, however, was the necessary prerequisite for the cantonal permit and could be reviewed.
