Key legal question
Whether the complaint was admissible against the lower migration office decision and the discretionary permit aspect.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible insofar as it challenged the migration office decision or the discretionary refusal issue already referred to the cantonal department.
Extracted reasoning
Only final cantonal decisions may be appealed to the Federal Court; the lower decision was replaced by the cantonal court decision, and the discretionary permit issue lacked a final cantonal decision and any enforceable entitlement.
