Stick to the Original Thread .

As Casa and Vinny originally advised, you are not entitled to PR, as you have not resided lawfully in the UK under the directive for 5 years, neither have you lived and married the EEA national exercising treaty rights in the UK for 5 years.

Under certain circumstance, you might be able to retain your right of residence, but in order to secure Permanent residence, you will be required to have been lawfully in the UK for 5 years, as stated in the Case law the Vinny provided.
