Assuming you meet the other requirements then you can apply now for BC on the basis of 5 years residency inc at least 1 free from immigration control.

Your wife cannot apply yet having not been here 5 years yet. That said, assuming that you do become British she can then apply immediately for BC too as the requirements for a spouse of a BC is only 3 years and being free from immigration control.
