Tier-1 ILR or Leave To Remain Which to Apply

Good Evening All,

First time, I applied for Tier-1 General visa from abroad before 06-Apr 2010. My first "Leave to Enter" was valid from 01-Jun-2010 to 01-Jun-2012. I didn't enter to UK first time within 90 days of 01-Jun-2010, rather I first came to UK on Tier-1 visa on 10-Oct-2010. This meant I was like 40 days late of the first 90 days period. I got my extension on 29-May-2012 valid from 01-Jun-2012 to 01-Jun-2015.

Now you might be wondering if I applied first time before 06-Apr-2010, why I didn't get first time three years visa; well that was visa officer mistake, so when I applied for extension they gave me 03 years extension in order to make five years from 01-Jun-2010 to 01-Jun-2015, so ignore this for the moment.

Also, I have only been out of UK for just 10 days and don't have plans to go outside UK till I get ILR, meaning I left UK for very less 10 number of days in total.

Now, I understand I didn't come to UK within first 90 days of 01-Jun-2010, rather I came here on 10-Oct-2010. Now, does this mean 100% that I must apply for extension before 01-Jun-2015 and I cannot apply for ILR next year in May. I must have in total 02 extensions (1 already done, 1 due next year) before I am eligible to apply for ILR. If 2nd extension is must, what do you say if it is a good idea to apply for extension now instead of waiting for 1st extension to expire on 01-Jun-2015. By doing so, I won't have to spend money twice next year and can spread the cost to this and next year.

What are your thoughts on above please.

Kind regards.

You will need to apply for an second extension.
