When you arrive at airport be sure to fully explain this to IO and make sure s/he does not stamp you as a tourist.

If ur extension took 6 months and u get 2years additional leave from that point. At ur 5 years u can apply ILR and u still have 6 months valid leave.... No 3C needed. Need 2nd passport of course

after bio metric.Every thing is crystal clear.

The user is asking about ILR ans not a visa extension.

If anything extension is much more complicated than ILR CW timewise

seasky you are right extension is more complicated than ILR but am sure service is available for ILR as well.
i assume they have to check your eligibility for acceptance this could be the reason for not showing super premium service on HO website.As per my knowledge you have to pay fee with all application regular or premium with your application form but for extension you only have to reply their questions first and once you get approved for SPS then they proceed further after all is mater of £ 8795 + 500.just quoting two question here:
-Are you able to provide full payment submissions in the ‘coded format accessible from the HMRC gateway website, p60s, and contracts of employment, p11s and pay slips?
-How is the accountant certified (ACCA, ICAEW)?

seasky wrote:You are both very correct. This system (which is informal) only works if you are from a visa free nationality e.g. USA so u don't need a BRP to get on the plane back. A photo of BRP along with truthful explanation to IO is what is needed.

Clearly t1e is very broken in this system that does not allow travel during extension/ILR

His was an application for an extension and NOT for ILR. You cannot use premium or super premium for ILR.
