Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible despite the general exclusion in foreign nationals cases.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because the foreign spouse of a Swiss citizen may invoke a federal statutory right to renewal under Art. 7 LDDS; whether that right still existed was a merits question.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 7(1) LDDS confers a right to renewal on the foreign spouse of a Swiss national; admissibility follows even if the existence of the right is disputed.
