I have a friend that I just called ,he is a non-Eu married to a Greek living in romania,he has the same card that I have: residence card for Family members.Valid for 5 years.
The romanian authorities issue only 2 kind of cards so even if I ask for a residence card for family members of Eu citizen,it does not exist
Here in Ireland, the spouse of an Irish citizen gets a residence card known as "Stamp 4". Until some time in 2006 (or was it 2007 - I'm not too sure), family members of a Union citizen also used to get "Stamp 4".
Directive 2004/38/EC requires that family members to whom the Directive applies should apply for a "Residence Card of a family member of a Union citizen", which is a residence card unique from all others, that must be recognisable through the EEA as a residence card described in Article 10.
It was therefore necessary for the Irish authorities to stop issuing "Stamp 4" cards to family members of a Union citizen, and instead create a new "stamp" or status. This new stamp is "Stamp 4 EUFam", and is the card given to all family members of a Union citizen, who have applied for, and had approved, an application for a "Residence Card of a family member of a Union citizen".
Majeztic - from what you have said, it would appear that Romania is doing what Ireland used to do. It is wrong, it is otherwise than in accordance with the Directive, and leads to various problems as you yourself have encountered first hand.
If I were you, I'd make a complaint to the European Commission, who will take steps to correct Romania's current practice.
