ILR application Tier 1 General. Payslip more than 30 day old

[SSharda]

Hi,
I am currently on Tier 1 General visa since 1st Feb 2010.
Planning to make application in person on 6th Jan 2015. (Qualifying period completes on 1st Feb 2015).

For some reason I won't get my December 2014 payslip until 10th Jan 2015. Now I am considering to show my earnings from Dec 2013 to Nov 2014. Which means my Nov 14 payslip is going to be more than 30 days old.
Is this a problem?

Bank statemets are OK. last bank statement will be upto 18th Dec 2014, so within 30 days.

Thanks

You will be fine with period Dec 13 to Nov 14 if you are applying on 6 Jan 15

Thanks for the reply.

This is a para i picked up from guidance notes directly. I am sorry if I have something completely simple but it says payslips must be less than 30 days old.

Payslip: This must be the most recent payslip. It must be dated no earlier than one calendar month before the date of the application. It should either be an original payslip or on company-headed paper. If the payslip is not on headed paper or is a printout of an online payslip, you must provide a letter from your sponsor, confirming the payslip is authentic. The letter from the sponsor must be on company headed paper, and must be signed by a senior official.

This happens to be right after something they are babbling about Tier 2 rules change(page 6 guidance notes). Is this only applicable to Tier 2? Can Tier 1 General forget about this 30 day thing if within 15 month rule?

Your help is going to be a lifesaver. I need/want to attend a wedding on 20th Jan.

Thanks

Hi
My ILR is due in March 2015. Could I ask you to confirm how many absences you have from the UK in the 5 years qualifying period and what proof/document you are going to submit with your application.
I have been absent for 315 days in 5 years.
Do you have any suggestions for me?
