It is considered inappropriate & rude to hijack another thread.
Moved question to its own thread in most appropriate forum.

I don't think there is any advantage being married to an EU citizen (I assume that's what you mean)
You need to get PR, then wait 12 months before you can apply. If you are married to a British citizen you can apply immediate when you get PR.
Have you got a PR card / confirmation of PR document? As you are now required to submit one with the application.

12 months after PR, if you are not married to a British citizen.
Typically, if you have been married to an EEA citizen, you would become eligible after 6 years (5 years to get PR+12 months). But the correct way of understanding the rule is PR+12 months.
As an aside, you will need to meet the KOLL requirements; knowledge of English at B1 level and pass the Life in the UK test.
