Naturalisation thru 5 yrs inc 1 yr ILR or 3 years as spouse?

[ledgex0x]

Hi to all. I wish someone can help me here.
I am applying for naturalisation for British Citizenship but confused on the pathway I should follow.
I am currently staying in UK for more than 7 years.
tier 4 2007 until 2010/2011
dependant/unmarried partner from 2011 for 2 years.
ILR from November 2013.

I have all other evidence which meet the requirements of the home office (apart from registration as civil partner and/or certificate of marriage)
I am a really confused on which pathway I should take for Naturalisation, either 5 years or 3 years as a partner/spouse. *Me and my partner are NOT yet registered as civil partner or married. Although it's still in the plan.
As I have legally stayed in the UK for the last 7 years and obtained and matured my ILR for 12 months, will it be better to go thru 5 years pathway than 3 years since we're not married yet?

As you're not married you don't have the option to choose the 3 year route.

AIUI - unmarried partners don't qualify for the 3 year path.

So you either wait until your married - or apply now if you meet all the other requirements under the 5 year path.
