Okay, lets put it this way: How many of those Seele people are Japanese? None except Gendo. Keel is from Germany, and the other are from France, Russia, US, and the UK, as said
here. Now, chances are, there are few others that Yui can be daughter to, because as you said, she is the daughter of a prominent Seele member. If they were really that important, they would probably be in the HIP committee. And where you go to university doesn't even relate to your nationality. I can be from Serbia and go to a college in South Africa, if I wanted.

Nothing suggests that.

And the only way he could get permission is through a prominent Seele member, which would probably be then a part of the HIP committee, which I have said:
Keel is from Germany, and the other are from France, Russia, US, and the UK, as said

No it doesn't.

No it doesn't. That would suggest that the thing they are trying to protect would also move to another country, which is impossible.
Nothing of your proof as of yet still doesn't suggest that Yui can be born from anywhere.
