the case worker will probably only give you FLR until you've been in the uk 2years, not an extra 2 yrs, becuase they can possibly make more money out of you, you need to pass the 'life in the uk test' b4 you apply for ILR..

you can apply for FLR anytime b4 your visa expires,
ILR no more than 28 days b4 you've been in the uk 2 yrs.

you should always apply for visa asap so if there is a problem, you will have time to reapply, your visa will hopefully not have expired by then

so in your case to apply for ILR , you came to the uk on the 14/11/2006, and the earliest you can apply for ILR is after 2 yrs - (upto 28 days) when you first entered the uk

err 17th oct 2008,

but your visa will have expired 3rd of oct 2008, your an overstayer

so if you apply for FLR, you should get it til 14th nov 2008, and so you can apply for ILR upto 28 days b4 that date, so you can apply for ILR
btw 17th oct to the 7th nov 2008 (you could infact leave it til the last minute the 13th of nov, but i wouldn't take the risk, incase they say they didnt get it on the 14th )

check the dates yourself and with IND, cause i'm off home now
