Suspect only in 2020 - 10 years from the date your stay was legalised.

No need to wait.

As you are the spouse of a BC you may apply as soon as all other requirements can be (or have been) met.
Use Form AN from Gov UK website.

Good luck.

Except for the pesky little 'good character' requirement and a long period of no legal status :?
