Maintaining ordinary residence

Hi,
As advised in my previous post ‘About to lose my eligibility’, I’m posting this to try and simplify my problem.
I’ve been working in China for the past 8 months and have 2 months left on my contract. As this is a temporary contract I feel that I could certainly prove that this absence is temporary in order to keep my ordinary residence status and get student finance.
However, I am due to get married this summer to a non EU resident and as there is a financial restriction on bringing a non-EU spouse to the UK, I will have to renew my contract and delay my return for another year so she can come on a student visa which we will change later when I pass the restriction. I would then apply for finance after a year of being back.
I would just like to know if there is anything that I can do whilst away that will help SF deem this absence as temporary, can anyone help please?
I did go back for a few weeks in January this year and everything in my life is still named under my parents address (I’m 28 and have rented a number of flats in England however I have always kept everything registered at this address to make life easy, bank accounts, GP etc).
