Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal was admissible despite the immigration-law exclusion rule
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible because the foreign spouse had a formal statutory claim to a residence permit as long as the marriage formally subsisted.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 7(1) ANAG, a spouse of a Swiss citizen generally has a right to a residence permit, so the administrative law appeal was open notwithstanding the general exclusion for discretionary permits.
