Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the lack of a statutory right to a residence permit
Decisão extraída
No admissibility existed because the adult son had no current enforceable right to the permit under federal law or Article 8 ECHR.
Fundamentação extraída
The mother held only a residence permit, not settlement status under Art. 17(2) ANAG. Any ECHR-based family-life claim had lapsed once the son reached majority, absent a proven special dependency relationship.
