All legal residence qualifies, so assuming you meet all the standard requirements, KOL, B1 English etc, you can apply for BC now.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Both. PR document AND marriage certificate (and British passport) so you don't need to wait 1 year after PR.

I suggest you read the FAQ (link below) and the application form. There is no need for cover letter. The last page of the application form lists the supporting documents required.

PR is equivalent to ILR.

Many thanks to vinny for your quick response
I have a PR which is equivalent to ILR but should I apply as a spouse of bc or based on over 5 years legal stay?
got married to my bc spouse in nov 2012 and the law says all legal stay counts so should I apply as a spouse of a bc or use my legal 5 years what are the best chances for me
Please looking forward to hear from all the immigration gurus

May be simpler applying as the spouse of a British citizen.
