Hi Fellow members,

I got my pre-settled status the 16/12/2020 , i'm out of the country since then if i come back before the 180 days rules (early June 2021), it will not break my continuous residence?

Thanks for the advice.

Hello

Yes and no.

If you are absent for less than 6 months then you come back, it's fine. But if you are frequently absent for less than 6 months, you may end up breaking other absence criteria and you won't qualify for Settled Status in 5 years.
