You cannot apply for PR until you have lived in the UK in accordance with the EEA regulations for a period of 5 years, with your spouse who was exercising treaty rights over this period as well .

There is a case coming up at the ECJ, which might help your case, but as things stand, you have to wait until you have been married for, and lived with your spouse, who is exercising treaty rights for 5 years

I remember your case now. I believe you will qualify if you can show evidence of living together for 5 years, evidence of dependency over this period and evidence your uncle has been exercising treaty rights over this period
