Hello,
I am so glad to have your expert remarks.
As I stated my EC was approved on 29th March 2010, arrived UK 23 April 2010, Extension granted 18th March 2013 and expiring on 18th March 2014.
I am no realyy worried as per below SET(O) guidance note:

5. When to apply
You and any dependants applying with you should apply before the end of your/their permitted stay in the UK.
There is a qualifying period to complete in most of the categories on this form. It runs either from
• the date on which you entered the UK with a visa in the relevant category; or, if you did not enter the UK with such a visa, from
• the date on which you were first granted permission to remain in the UK in the relevant category.
If you entered the UK with a visa several weeks or more after the date from which it was valid for use, you may need to apply for an extension of stay to complete the relevant qualifying period.
Please do not apply more than 28 days before completing the qualifying period. If you apply earlier than that, your application may be refused. If that happens, we will not refund the fee and you will have to pay again when reapplying
Most experienced are saying it is okay for me to apply for ILR from 1st march 2015 onwards, but I hear some unsuccessful stories as well.
Could you please help my to clarify or is there any email address for UKBA or relevant authority who can clarify, please let me have those contacts.
Regards
