What happens is , the judge has accepted that you meet the requirements of regulation 8(2).
Having met the requirement of 8 (2) , the next step is the exercise of discretion under regulation 17 (4)(5).
The tribunal can only exercise the discretion under 86 (3)(b) , if the Secretary of State has first exercised it.
As the Secretary of State has yet to exercise the discretion, because they thought you are not an extended family member.
The right course was followed.
The Home Office may refuse to exercise discretion in your favour, or they may not.
If they refuse, you will have another right of appeal and the judge will be able to decide whether or not you should get a Residence Card.
