Unless you are married or civil p to a British Citizen then you must be settled for 12 months (have ILR for 12 months) as well as meeting the other standard requirements - http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/briti ... uirements/

Your ILR review process took longer than 3 months (typical). If the delay was not your fault, you should be able to apply 15 months after your ILR application day. Please note that accepting your application before the 12 months qualifying period is discretionary. However, if you are sure that the delay was the result of UKBA's fault, you should be accepted.

I am in a similar situation and intend to apply after 15 months period when the time is up before the next Christmas. I am optimistic about the success prospect of that application.
