combination of EEA and UK citizen rules for naturalization

[gugulak]

Is it true that 6 years needed for a family member of EEA national to apply for his/her naturalization can be cut to 5 years? Meaning that once family member has lived in the UK for 5 years can he/she immediately apply for naturalization in case that his EEA wife/husband became British in the meantime?
Example:
-married in 2009
-came to the UK in 2009 and obtained Residence card of a Family Member of EEA national as wife is from the Czech Republic.
-wife became British in 2013
-his Residence card expires in 2014

Can husband apply for naturalization in 2014 or has to wait till 2015. I heard that is possible to skip that 12 month gap.

the true is that if you are married to BC you don't have to be free from immigration control for 12 months before you can apply for naturalization. Even if your wife had ceremony day before you archieved PR status you can apply without waiting.Source of my information is HO website.
