You need to prove as you have been living with your partner for at least 2 years. I would suggest you to apply spouse visa

what do you mean by a settlement visa? Do you have indefinite leave to remain in the UK?

If you meet the residential requirements, you can apply now. Spouse of a BC needs 3 yrs, not 5 yrs
