I came to UK on Shortage Occupation sponsorship Tier-2 Visa on 2012 July. My first Visa was valid till 02/04/2012 till 01/05/2015. But before the end of my first visa i got a new Job but due to delay in sponsorship letter i had to apply for me visa through my old employer but with in two weeks i received the sponsorship from new employer and as per rule i applied for new Visa and got the BRP card on 15/06/2015 till 18/07/2018 and On 15/03/2017 i got the ILR through 5 Year route which is valid till. 2023.

My wife First Tier-2 Visa is valid from 07/01/2013 till 01/05/2015 and then we had gone for extension and apply for Tier-2 visa from India 24/06/2015 and she got the visa on 18/07/2015. There was delay in her Second visa as i am waiting for the sponsorship letter from my new employer and as soon i got the visa i had started her application and her visa application appointment was on 24 June 2015 and she got the visa on 18/07/2015.
In this condition also my wife Continues period of 5 year will be consider as break. As her first visa expire in 01/05/2015 and her second visa applied on 24/06/2015. There is a delay of 54 days.

You can't apply for an 'extension' outside the UK. It is a new entry clearance visa. Extensions are applied for within the UK. She also applied for a new visa more than 28 days after the last one expired.

What date did she return to the UK in 2015?

She returns to Uk on 26 July 2015 as she got the Vignette visa on 17th July 2015.
