Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal is admissible in a family reunification case under Art. 83 lit. c ch. 2 BGG.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the appellant had a protected residence right through his marriage and could invoke Art. 8 ECHR.
Extracted reasoning
Although Art. 44 AuG does not create a statutory right for holders of only a residence permit, the appellant had a renewed entitlement based on Art. 42 Abs. 1 AuG and a family-life claim under Art. 8 ECHR / Art. 13 BV.
