Hi,

Can someone please advise what is the earliest allowable time one can apply for the extension, due to personal circumstances?

Thanks

As I understand you can apply anytime you want as long as you qualify, but you may need further extension to reach 5 years mark for ILR as the extension could be granted not from the expiry date but from the date the visa is stamped. There are various discussion within this forum related to this quesion.
