Question juridique clé
Whether the complaint was admissible despite the general bar against appeals concerning discretionary residence permits
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible only insofar as the applicant invoked a possible statutory entitlement under Art. 7 ANAG; it was inadmissible to the extent it sought a purely discretionary or hardship permit.
Motifs extraits
A federal appeal is excluded for permits to which no right exists, but a claimed entitlement under Art. 7 ANAG can be reviewed because it would also preclude refusal of the lesser residence permit.
