you cannot apply for citizenship until you have ilr because you have to be free from immigration time restrictions. if your wife has her british citizenship when youget your ilr, you can then appky for citizenship immediately as spouse of bc and the residence rquirements are 3 years with absence of no more than 270 days in the threeyears and no more than 90 days in the 12 months before citizenship application.

are you on spouse of settled person visa?
when did your wife get ilr?
what date was your visa issued and what is the expiry date?

form set(m) and it is indefinite with no expiry.
bear in mind that you will need your wifes passport and ilr to submit your application as well as all the other documents.
if your wife applies for bc, i would suggest she uses NCS so that she can keep her original documents.
once your wife has bc certificate and you have ilr, you will be eligible to apply for bc immediately as spouse of bc. as resident requirement is 3 years so you wont have to wait 12 months on ilr.
