Hey Folks!
Well, We have a little story for you here that might help. We are in a similar situation more or less. In fact, I’m a non EU and my partner she is Latin EU citizen.
We applied on Mid of April 2017 (Plan to apply as de facto partner), while waiting, they were asking us for civil marriage certificate until mid August, and we informed them we don’t want to register our marriage now.
Early of September 2017 we got a refusal letter on the basis that the Minster has decided that I’m not a qualifying EU member as set in regulations 5 of the Directive 2004/38/EC European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015.
Alright! Now, after we read the refusal letter carefully, we noticed that they are referring to EU1 form (which is not de facto partner). Obs!!
In 2015 there was a change in law! and a new form called EU1A was activated (which we didn’t know about it at all..), so instead of applying on EU1A we applied on EU1. We should have applied as a permitted family member of a particular union citizen (which is form EU1A after new updates of law).
However, I still believe that we were refused because of the wrong form, hence, we picked and refilled form EU4 which is for review of decision and form EU1A. We posted them with a letter to explain our mistake pluse two support letters (Ond from my partner manager and the other from my partner family).
On Mind of September 2017 we got an acknowledgement letter for acceptance of the review application. Until now no decision yet been made. I’m in touch with them by email from time to time. I explained them that my GNIB will expired by the end of September, they confirmed that they can’t issue me a temporary stamp while pending a decision of review application.
I spoke to the Garda station where I live, and they insured that the only side can deal with my case is EU Treaty Right! Garda Station can not give a temporary stamp on passport without a letter from EU Treaty Right. He said but don’t worry, you will not be deported because you have an open case and they know about it. He said just give them a space, you will be sorted.
Last two weeks, I emailed and called twice, and no reply and answer yet!
Finally, I hope to hear something from them before Xmas. I can’t work now, I can’t travel too!
Best of luck to everyone!

I completed 2 months already since I submitted the EU4 Review form.
In the last corespondents from EU Treaty Right, they said that my Review application is in the queue to be proceed.
How long they take to review a case?
! Means 8 months of applications still to be reviewed. Its hard to guess it, it’s depends on many things. I’m hoping to be sorted before Xmas.
