My understanding was 3 years as the spouse of a British citizen, 5 years if not. But if not married to a British citizen you have to have been free from immigration time restrictions for the last 12 months (ie ILR plus a year).

So if a 'non-spouse' got ILR in November 2008 they could not apply until at least November 2009 regardless of when they originally came to the UK.
