No, if you husband is not British, you don't qualify on the 3 year residence rule. You will need to wait till you have 5 years residence unless your husbad applies for citizenship and once approved, then you apply as spouse of BC.

So if your husband doesn't apply, the earliest you can apply is September 2105.

As soon as your husband applies, gets approval and attends the ceremony to receive his certificate, then you can apply as spouse of BC if you have been resident for 3 years and meet other the standard requirements.

Once he becomes BC, you can apply exactly 3 years of your intial entry to UK so if you came to UK in 2010 then you can apply this year (permitting if you meet other requirements)
