E2 - homeowner, 'driving permit' etc?

[Karlam 0]

I have a question about the E2 visa. Do you have to be a homeowner and be a qualified driver etc. to prove you have ties to the country you would apply for the E2 visa from, in this case, the United Kingdom? What if you have not owned a home, but have been renting the same place for over 15 years, a housing association property and do not drive? Would not owning a home and not driving hinder the chance of getting an E2 visa?

I read this and it concerned me:

When we submit an E-2 application for a national from the U.K., we submit supporting documentation showing U.K. ties including: pay stubs, home ownership or lease, child enrollment in school, bank account information, driving permit, and any other information that shows ties to the U.K..

That site just gave examples of evidence that could be provided, not applicable in all situations.

Ok, do you know if it could affect the chances of getting an E2 visa accepted if you have had a Debt Relief Order in United Kingdom, in the past?

Can not think how it would arise.

Is there any kind of financial background check?

You have to show funds that have been committed subject of course to visa approval.

And the trail of how those funds were accumulated.
