Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible despite no enforceable right to a residence permit
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the applicant could not rely on any federal or treaty provision granting a right to stay in Switzerland.
Extracted reasoning
As an adult not dependent on her parents, she could not invoke Article 8 ECHR for family reunification; the EC free-movement agreement was not yet in force; the 1882 treaty and the 1946 arrangement did not confer a right to a residence permit in her situation.
