Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had a continuing right to renewal of his residence permit under Art. 50(1)(a) AuG.
Solution extraite
The right did not continue because, although the marriage lasted at least three years, successful integration was not shown.
Motifs extraits
The appellant worked and was not on social welfare, but repeated criminal convictions, including theft and receiving stolen goods, showed difficulty complying with Swiss law and undermined any finding of successful integration. Future promises of better conduct are irrelevant.
