Zambrano Cases...How is it implemented?

[ZambranoCase]

A friend of mine who got her residence in the UK under the Zambrano law got her own for free and doesnt need to pay for re-entry visas if she travels out of the UK. However, I think the UK gives a more favourable interpretation of Zambrano because it states in her approval letter that she is entitiled to work/study/start a business and claim social welfare immediately, they even go further by saying absences from the state does not affect her residency in the state as it is in the interest of the child for her to have contact with her parent. In other words, as stated in her approval letter she can make an application for extension of her residence outside of the UK.

Is there any opinion about the exact legislation in the EU about how Zambrano cases are treated and what categories they come under? Do they fall under the EU movement rights or is it left to each member state to determine how they deal with them?

Does anyone here have any knowledge about the category Zambrano sucessful applicants come under or do we have to wait till someone takes the case to the ECJ for adjudication?
