Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal appeal was admissible against the cantonal and service decisions
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible only insofar as it challenged the cantonal administrative judgment and the underlying right under federal alien law; it was inadmissible as directed against the non-final cantonal service decision.
Motivazione estratta
Only the last cantonal-instance decision could be challenged; however, because the appellant was married to a Swiss citizen, the case fell within the statutory exception to the general inadmissibility rule for foreigner-permit cases.
