Help, ILR refused marraige, declared illegal advice !!!

Hello mate, I want some advice and that also free If I can

I have lived in UK for 10 years legally and with last five years as the spouse of an EEA national. I applied for ILR on expiry of my current visa on ILR set (M) which is settlement on the marraige basis.

Now I have been refused ILR and asked to leave the country as my Visa has expired during the process of application though with a right of appeal against the decision from the UK.

I have applied in the wrong category - I should have applied in either EEA4 as completing 5 years on EEA spouse Visa or long stay 10 years category.

Now my question is can I reapply in my category while I have been declared an illegal entrant into the country. Should I reappeal first and then apply or please suggest a best course of action.

I shall forever be grateful for your help, replies and thoughts about me.
