Please tell me details when your Tier 2 was first assigned and then if you had extended it any time and how long it was valid for? Then someone can help you.

But from the information you have given here is what I can say:

First you have to extend your tier 2 before it expires. Once you have extended your Tier 2 then you can apply for ILR as soon as you complete your five years. You cant apply for ILR until you finish 5 years on your Tier 2 General.
