Thanks in Advance..

Hi,
You got at your 1st T2 (G) from 24/01/2014 TO 14/04/ 2017 => 3 years & 2 months
now you only need 2 more years to be eligible for ILR on 5 years route. but it is possible to get another 3 years (as maximum you can get 6 years on Tier2).

please read below guidelines

How long you can stay
You can come to the UK with a Tier 2 (General) visa for a maximum of 5 years and 14 days, or the time given on your certificate of sponsorship plus 1 month, whichever is shorter.

Your stay must start no more than 14 days before the start date on your certificate of sponsorship.

You can apply to extend this visa for up to another 5 years, as long as your total stay is not more than 6 years.


thanks
