Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal appeal was admissible despite the residence-permit dispute.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because the applicant could rely on a statutory and Convention-based claim, but not for the subsidiary hardship-permit request.
Motivazione estratta
A formally existing marriage gave a claim under former Art. 7 ANAG; additionally, the mother could invoke family life in relation to her Swiss daughter. By contrast, hardship-permit arguments under the old Ordinance were outside federal appeal jurisdiction.
