So I started a fresh 5 yr time from april 2012...I would complete 5 yrs in april 2017..

If at all I get 3+2+ another 3 years ...All is well ...i could easliy go for ILR ...

but if fate ..am afraid If i receive 2years ... I would end up short of 1-2 months ...for my 5 years ...as I would go for my visa extension this Jan 2015 ..

So if get 3 yrs it would be ...till Jan/feb 2018 ...I can easily go for ILR after april 2017...where as

If get 2 yrs it would be ...till jan/feb 2017 ...and will not eligible for ILR as I would be short couple of months....

The rule is 245CB and you should be granted 3 years. Search around the forum, this has been discussed in length, and some people have been awarded 2 years in error, but have had it corrected.

Immaterial of whether you are 2+3 or 3+2 for 2nd extension, all should get 3 yrs.
