You need to give more information if you expect a response that is helpful and exact.

When was your HSMP granted and was this a visa which you used to enter the UK or did you switch from some other immigration category? If it was the former, when did you enter the UK? When does you current leave expire?

Hi,

sorry for not providing full information, HSMP was granted on 05 March 2008, I entered UK as a student, and the current leave ( tier 1 extn ) expires on 05 march 2013.

hope this helps.

thank you,

What? You were granted HSMP but then entered as a student, or are you saying you had previously entered as a student but switched to HSMP on 5 March?

Based on the information now provided, you would be eligible for ILR 28 days before 05 March 2013. This is on the understanding that you meet all other ILR requirements including the maximum absences allowed during the 5 year residency period.
