Granted a spouse visa, can't work for a year? Is this so?

[lontaly151206]

are you both filipino? if so i think that is right

Nope, I am Brit. My husband is. Apparently, CFO told him that he is not allowed to work until after a year?

I have a friend at work whose husband was granted a visa 2 months ago, and he is presently working with us.
