No.

The wait would only be from date of acquiring PR status which is different from the date of being granted a PR card.

But, no it doesn't apply to you if married to a BC and applying under section 6(2) of BNA.

Just needed some information for my partner. He has lived in the UK for more than 10 years continuously but never applied for a PR card.

I just read on home office website that if EU national has lived in the UK for atleast 6 years he can apply for citizenship straight away. He has been working here as a professor, paying taxes etc. ( exercising his treaty rights)

May I kindly ask the senior members to shed light on it?
