need help

Greenie,

could you consider and shed some light on my specific situation.....

- I earn a basic salary of £17,800.
- After commission I earn £21,000 - £23,000 per annum.
- I can demonstrate this with bank statements, wage-slips or P60's for the last 3 years.
- In April 2012, I went to Peru to get married. I took the whole month off work so earned zero commission that month. My earnings were £1483.34 (£17,800 / 12)
- I now want to demonstrate that I meet the £18,600 requirement. My wife will be applying at the start of July but possibly after the 9th as she may not get her English test certificate in time.
- on a 12 month basis I meet the requirement and can prove that. If they use my last 6 months and take the average, i meet the requirement and can prove that. It is one month in the last 20 months since I have earnt zero commission on top of my salary.
- If applying in July, would it be acceptable to exclude my pay-slip dated 31/05/2012 (this relates to to pay period 01/04/2012)??? I could include 6 wage slips from November 2011 - April 2012? Would it be a problem leaving out May and June?
-Alternatively, would they be likely to consider that I did not work in the month of April (I was on annual leave, getting married in Peru!)?? This is the reason I did not earn commission and the reason I have become ineligible to act as my wife's sponsor under the new rules?

Thanks!
