Dear, according to the policy, if you want to apply for permanent residence permit, your marriage should last for at least 5 years, and you have lived in PRC for 5 years in a row with annual stay in PRC for more than 9 months, and have stable place to live. Based on what you said, I’m afraid you cannot apply for it at present.
