Thanks.

Does that mean that i dont need to consume the 36 months they have granted me? As long as i had consume already my 24 months anniversary or 28 days before the 24 months anniversary, i can apply for ILR?

By the way, in my VIGNETTE it says, LIMITED LEAVE TO REMAIN in the UK.

cheers
If you have been granted FLR(M) then yes, 24 months for ILR.

But to be honest I'm a little puzzled by your current visa.
Are you sure you did not receive an explanation letter from UKBA describing the leave granted??

Limited leave to remain really means just that.
You're allowed to remain here in the UK until the visa you have expires. Period. No adjustments during that time.

There are actually quite a few categories of leave to remain.
Perhaps the UKBA made a mistake in your case. Would be well worth double checking with UBA what you have.
The only 3 years visa I can remember is with discretionary leave. This is a type of leave granted outside the immigrations rules. This is usually given on an case by case basis
and connected with human rights and family members.
Does this seem likely?

If its DLR (disretionary leave to remain) then you will not be eligible for ILR after 24 months.

I think you would be wise to re-confirm the basis of your visa and secure confirmation in writing from UKBA.
