That depend when did you get your initial Tier1 visa:

Tier1 police guidance state:
If Leave to Remain (Extension) where previous grant of leave was as a Highly Skilled Migrant Programme participant, Writer, Composer or Artist, Self Employed Lawyer or a Tier 1 (General) migrant under the Rules in place after 05 April 2010, then you should get a extension for 3 years.

My previous permission to stay was on Tier-1 that was for 3 years. I got that permission to stay before 6th April 2010.

I was looking at the UKBA website. They say Tier-1 is either 2+3 or 3+2 depending on initial application. However, in my case its 3+3, I am wondering, if its an error or do i need to get this checked.

Please could you advise if its an error and could cause any issues in future.

You should enjoy longer visa rather worrying about it.
