ILR earliest application date from Tier 2 Visa

The request was refused by Home Office.

Dear Home Office,

I am currently on Tier 2 Visa (General), I will reach my 5 years in the UK under this visa on January 4, 2019. When is the earliest possible date I can apply for ILR? Thank you!

Yours faithfully,

We will provide an answer to your query, but it will be answer outside of the provisions of the Act.  You should expect to receive a response in due course.

Thank you,
