I lived in the UK 1994-2006 as a US citizen and had Indefinite Leave to Remain status. Living in the US again since 2006, I have lost that status. I am now a dual EU/US citizen, having become an Italian citizen 5 years ago, I also have a son who lives in England and has Indefinite Leave to Remain status, and a granddaughter also living in the UK who is a British Citizen. Can I get Pre-settled status in the UK while still living in the US? Does my years of living in the UK count in any way, or having relatives there? I would like to move back to the UK before December 31, 2020.
