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.

As soon as you meet all requirements - have you checked them out?

Read the application, guidance, and booklet thoroughly before applying.

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?
Please don't high jack another member's thread, it's unfair and confusing. Post this query in your own thread.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
