Key legal question
Whether the complaint against the revocation of the settlement permit was admissible and well-founded
Extracted holding
The complaint was admissible in principle, but the revocation was lawful because the applicant had concealed a material fact when obtaining the settlement permit.
Extracted reasoning
The authorities could infer from the long separation, the temporary resumption of cohabitation shortly before the permit, and the rapid subsequent separation/divorce that the marriage was already definitively broken and was maintained only to obtain the permit. This constituted concealment under Art. 62 lit. a AuG and justified revocation under Art. 63 Abs. 1 lit. a AuG.
