No you cannot apply for ILR (PR). You need 5 years residence on a spouse visa counted from the date you entered the UK before you can apply for ILR.

You will need to extend your spouse visa in form FLR(M) for another 2.5 years first.

There is an error in the letter. This was relevant for spouse settlement visa applications submitted prior to 9th July 2012.

You will have to extend your current visa with a 2.5 year FLR(M) application. You need to complete 5 years of residence in the UK before qualifying for ILR.

A2 level English from a UKVI approved test provider is required for your next FLR(M) application.
