Thank you very much for the reply.
One further question: Are there any exemptions to the 540 day limit for time outside of the UK over that 10 years? I ask as several three-month spans were outside the UK doing formal humanitarian work for the EU (while still based in London).
No there are no exemptions. Discretion is only applied in exceptional circumstances where the long absence was completely outside your control and unrelated to your line of work
In addition to Zimba's post above, members have received refusals due to exceeding the absence limit even when they had evidence of compassionate or compelling reasons.
Note that if your application is refused, you lose your fee that you paid.
