Hope you are well and safe,
I have posted similar case before but now the situation has changed.
I'm just verifying some information regarding returning to the UK and my continuous residency in there.
Briefly, I'm outside the UK (Sri Lanka) now. I've granted pre-settlement status in 2019 and I should be returned to the UK within 6 months (180 days) to maintain the continuous residency so that i can apply for settled status in 2024. It will be 6 months to middle of this month (April).
With this pandemic situation, the Sri Lankan Gov. has put the curfew to control it and i cannot leave the house. Even if i could sneak out and go, finding transportation is impossible. And i also don’t want to go there as it is unsafe to travel and much worse the situation in the UK than in Sri Lanka.
Some say it's ok to stay for more than 6 months if you have a good reason. Would this reason be considered as a valid one? If so, How do i tell them and how to check the residence information such as duration and whether the continuity is broken or not?
And if i can stay extended amount of time, how long can i stay and what are the conditions that i need to know in future travels outside the UK?
I cannot find any official statements or updates regarding this on any UK Gov sites.
Please help and need advice.
