I am an Indian national on Tier 2 visa.
Date first Tier 2 start date: 23.02.2015 (entered UK 26.02.2015)
Continuous stay 5 years after visa start date: 23.02.2020
Current Tier 2 expiry date: 16.02.2020
I am aware that I can apply for ILR 28 days before 23.02.2020. But I am worried that I won't be eligible since my current visa expires just before the date calculated above.
I am in dilemma whether to apply for 6 month Tier 2 extension or ILR considering the dates above.
Any help would be appreciated.

You are eligible to apply upto 28 days before the 5th anniversary from initial visa.

Thank you for your response. Would there be a chance of rejection of application as current Tier 2 does not cover the date 23.02.20?
