Re: EASTA ISSUED ON OLD PASSPORT

Hello

In this case, apply for a new ESTA.

Because the ESTA is associated with your passport. If you renew it, you need a new ESTA.

Re: Traffic Fines - Application Query

Hello A parking fine is not a fine. It's a bill. It's a bill resulting from using the parking outside its terms and conditions. Parking terms and conditions are not a law. If a shop displays "you can park here for 2 hours" and I stay 3 hours, I am not violating any law. I am merely overstaying their...

Hello These websites are poorly made. It seems they are made to offer poor user experience by design. Stop going there for a few hours. The more you insist, the longer you are blocked.

Re: Can we expect a visit from the Home Office

If you do everything by the book, you don't need to worry. Sometimes they check more but it's not always about the company, but it could be about the applicant. I am saying there is an issue with the applicant, but sometimes the Home Office decides to make further checks and that takes time. I have ...

Re: Bounce back Loan and Naturalisation

Hello

You didn't take any loan. The company did.

You don't mention limited companies stories, their ups, their downs... in a naturalisation application.

As long as things were cleared and you weren't charged in a court, it's just past story and doesn't affect you.

Re: Non eu marriage breakdown

Hello,

You have a Settled Status. It's like having a "permanent residence". That residence doesn't depend on you being married, having an employment or anything of that nature. You can stay in the UK on your own right married or not.

You don't need to inform the Home Office.

Hello The cancelation of the US student visa in itself, is not going to prevent you from getting a Skilled Worker visa in the UK. However, why was your student visa cancelled?

Could be the letter was lost of something. Could be also that they have the wrong email for you.

Go to the Council and take 2 forms of IDs with you. Your passport and driving license would do.

It should be fine once you get your decision. However, I don't know how unbearable your job is, but if you can wait to get that shiny plastic card in hand before resigning, that would be much better. In theory, I don't see any reason why you cannot resign once you get your positive decision, but in ...
