Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant retained a right to renewal of the residence permit under Art. 49 and 50 AuG after separation
Solution extraite
No. The family community had ended, the three-year minimum marital cohabitation was not met, and no serious hardship justified renewal.
Motifs extraits
The couple had lived separately since May 2008. The period of married cohabitation was only two years and five months. The appellant did not show strong reintegration problems in Russia or extraordinary integration in Switzerland.
