and from that..

13. Q Can I enter employment while my application is pending?

A If you have an application pending, you and your EU national family member can bring your:

* EU Treaty Rights application acknowledgment,
* Passport,
* Passport/ID of your EU national family member,
* Evidence of your relationship with your EU national family member

to your local Immigration Officer who may provide you with a 'Stamp 4' endorsement in your passport that is valid strictly for the period of your application, i.e. 6 months maximum.
This would enable you to enter employment for this period. Please note, receipt of a 'Stamp 4' for this period is not an acknowledgment of having EU Treaty Rights.This will be determined in due course when your application will be either approved or refused.

Any predictions?

The states action are getting embarrasing now. jesus. How is that going to stop sham marriages? Its against the concept of what directive 2004 / 38 EC clearly states in the preambles, never mind the articles itself.

Here's another thing, although each state is entitled to have its own criteria, this is taking the piss

de facto relationship and an increase to 4 years.

But that's for "non EEA nationals who wish to remain the State and are in a de-facto relationship with a non EEA national". It's unrelated to Directive 2004/38/EC.

The Irish apply the 2 year rule to the EU law just as they do to Irish law for a de-facto relationship. I haven't been given a decision yet, but they are definitely considering my application (American partner of a Dutch Citizen).
