It is too early to answer your question, as the govt. has two and half years if they wish to change the rules. Any answer given today may not be relevant in 2013.

As for current qualifying criteria in place, read the policy guidance.

Looks cryptic, I could not understand whether it is a query or comment. But the answer to the Original Post is that the extension applications are based on the rules under which you were granted the Initial Visa. Of course, these are not hard rules and can be changed, given the fact a permanent policy is being sought out for immigration due to released in April 2011.
