ILR: Dependent less than 2 years in the UK

Friends, I've seen various flavors of this query, but still like to have confirmation due to individual circumstances I'll complete 5 years in 2012 June. But my wife will complete 2 years only in October 2012. Currently I'm in Tier1 and my wife is dependent. We have T1 extension till Feb2013. Querie...

Re: @sojan

Thanks for sharing the information. When you filled the extension form, it asks you to provide the biometric details. I assume since your previous tier1 visa was issued when this biometric work permit did not exist, you left that section blank? Can you please confirm this, as I am in a similar situ...

there is a lot of confusion here about ILR process. I don't understand why are people applying for early extension (2 years) in some cases. What are you trying to achieve?

Just got a news from my friend..
he enrolled for biometrics from post office.. charged 16GBP per person, but easier way of giving rather than waiting for PEO's

only worrying thing is how safe are the details with post office.

receiving letter for biometrics just means they started ur document review.
It doesn't guarantee any success/failure

Looks like early renewal has caught some attention. My friend got all paperwork back advising to send for extention 28 days before expiry. Thankfully they didn't deduct his money!!! His visa expires end of this year (may be he sent way to early). I feel 3-4 months before expiry is safe bet. I'm not...
