Question juridique clé
Whether the removal order had to be annulled because the appellant claimed a procedural stay pending a future residence-permit process.
Solution extraite
No. A procedural stay under Art. 17(2) AuG was unavailable because no actual permit-regularization procedure was pending before the migration authorities.
Motifs extraits
The court held that Art. 17(2) AuG presupposes a concrete application process. A mere engagement and intention to marry did not create a basis in the removal proceedings. Illegal entry and unlawful stay do not, by themselves, exclude reliance on the provision, but they do not replace the missing pending procedure.
