since october 2001 my longest time of being outside the UK is a period of 215 days, for holidays.
that would make me doing the application on the 5-year qualifying period, i assume.

I am Italian citizenship living in London for 20 years, I have moved here on the 1 October 2001 and I am currently registered as a UK resident; I have settled status.

I have obtained a master degree trough a university in London, does that make me exempt to avoid the 'life in UK test"?
