In total it should be 6 years. It depends on your employer whether they are requesting for 3+2+1, 2+3+1, 3+3, 4+2 or 5+1. You should remember that you could only apply for a maximum of 5 years at one time. Hope it makes sense.

May I ask why you got only 2 years for your extension? I saw another person who got only 2 years for their extension too. I thought we will be given another 3 years extension for our visa.
There are some people who got 3 years as an extension in previous pages. So, I am wondering is there a reason behind that?[/quote]
