Where were you married in 2010 either in UK or abroad? Have your EU national partner been exercising her treaty rights since 2010?

If you were married in UK and your EU partner can at least help you with her treaty rights evidences & passport regardless of you living together or not then you may proceed to permanent residence application in this year.

The time will start from the date when you were married to EU national regardless of when you were issued eea2 RC. I think you should try for Permanent residence if your partner help you.

firstly, eea marriage lasts until divorce, so living together or not, for eea regulations purposes your marriage is good until the gavel falls (and a decree final and absolute is issued in divorce proceedings)

secondly if you did get divorced sounds like you will qualify for ror most likely

thirdly, it is true that you can try to PR directly because time will start from the time of your marriage. when you got rc is irrelevant.

however, in your case it will not really be from your marriage because you were here on psw -- under the immigration rules, not eea rules

so your 5 years start form the moment when all 3 were true at the same time
1. you were married
2. you were physically here and relying on EEA regulations for your residence
3. your wife was excercising treaty rights

and (3) needs to be continuous for 5 years you are claiming so you need to cure whatever evidential deficiency led to your first refusal(s) or start the period at a later time
**Please note, you can no longer contact me by PM because owners of this board accused me of using it to recruit clients, and disabled my ability to read and send PMs.**

Wrong. 5 years for PR START from the date you are married. It really does not matter what was your immigration status .

Has he got a divorce?

His case seems complicating as she has left.
