I just got my visa and passport back from the UKBA and I just took a look at it - it's apparently only issued for 2 years?? I thought Tier 2 General was good for 3 years or am I crazy?

Yup turns put my employer only applied for 2 years. They said they would do an extension but how long do they issue extensions for?? I have plans for am ILR eventually but I'm afraid this might not let me do this as my last 2 years don't count towards my 5 years.... :s
