Tier -1 extension earning

[drath]

Hi

I got my Tier-1 visa valid till june-2012.


I got two questions regarding earning category for Tier-1 visa extension.

1. How many months of salary I need to produce as evidence as a part of my earning?
Is it same rule of 12 consecutive months out of last any 15 months that was applicable when I was originally granted Tier-1 leave or anything different?

2. Do I require to produce the payslips (earnings) for each of those months of that earning period or I can produce discontinued payslips and still eligible for extension because the total earning is more than what is required to score sufficient points for earning qualification.

E.g : I need to show £40,000 to get qualify in earning category.

If I require to show 12 months earning , can I produce payslips for month-1 to month4 and three months gap (month- 5 to month-7) because I am not working on those periods and again payslip for month-8 to month-12 and as a total of 9 months earning I am fetching more than £40,000.

So in this case will I be eligible for Tier-1 extension although I am not producing all the 12 months payslips (earning).

Please clarify.

Thanks in advance.
