Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 63(2) AuG barred revocation because the applicant had 15 years of lawful, orderly residence.
Solution extraite
No. Time spent as an asylum seeker after a rejected asylum claim and the period after the final expulsion order did not count as orderly residence; only the residence from marriage in 1996 onward counted.
Motifs extraits
Orderly residence requires an immigration-law-authorized stay. A tolerated or merely pending stay during asylum proceedings is not orderly if asylum is ultimately refused. After the final removal order, the stay was also not authorized despite no departure deadline being set.
