Yeah, one of my favorite examples is an IO evaluating someone who is a classic drifter and has no community ties. Except she is wearing a Taylor Swift T-shirt and has a long string of passport stamps that conform to TS's world tour schedule exactly, with a fortune in onward travel already booked to future tour stops. And a phone with photos from over 200 concerts.

For you, a history of going to metal (?) shows and then leaving as agreed, will help.

A big strike against you is the highly mobile, gypsy-like nature of telecommuting employment, in the absence of any other ties to India. And I know (from comments) that your job isn't that telecommutable, but immigration doesn't know that! Your skill does telecommute well, which makes it easy to get work beyond the reach of EU employment law. So it's really hard to be sure you won't take up residence in a local coffee shop and never leave.

One thing that helps is, don't bring your tools-of-trade, e.g. Your laptop. Arrive wholly unprepared to work. That can be a bit scary, I know!
