Re: Update from HO - when and how?

Referees are rarely contacted. It’s not an indication of where your application is.

Re: ESTA & Transit Visa

1) ESTA is an online only application BEFORE you travel to the US, if your country qualifies for ESTA "visa waiver" (UK citizen is ok) - https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/. It's not a visa - US entry officer though has the final say for entry clearance.
2) don't know.

Sorry didn't actually finish my earlier post. What I meant was they would have chased for the documents by now.

The answer to all your questions is NO.

Note that UKVI or Home Office don’t track what British citizens are doing - there’s no central database of citizens that’s why we don’t have ID cards!

Re: Settled status = dependency still?

So having settled status (not having applied for ILR Separately) means you are completely independent no matter what the circumstances are to have gotten in it i.e dependent on partner ? EUSS and ILR are the same for the purpose of your query - ILR is for those under the UK Visa system, no need to ...

Re: Naturalise for non uk born under section 3 for Home Secretary consideration

There's no direct "registration", all requirements need to be complied with.
A child born outside UK needs ILR. What is other parent's UK immigration status?
Child can apply for ILR when other parent applies for ILR.

Re: Date of Spouse/family visa application submission, date of payment or Biometrics?

For all UK applications the application date is when you submit/pay online - the biometrics date is not relevant for this.
If you applied before the changes kick in the you should be under the old rules.

There's no requirement to send any paper documents. You may receive an acknowledgment - or you may not. Normally the next you hear is the approval, this could take up to 6 months, sometimes longer.

Re: update wrong relationship in pre-settlement from durable partner to civil partner?

As you are due for settled status now/soon you should input the correct relationship status. Updating an old application is not done, if necessary you input the correct details in your new application.
