if i remember correctly once she lost her job she had 28 days to find another sponsor or try another visa type (eg tier 1 is she qualified) OR i think if her employer informed the H/O she no longer works there, then she might have got a letter from the H/O stating she had to find another sponsor in 28 days or leave the UK, but no job after a year
and she has applied for another work permit, i take it she has heard nothing yet from the H/O ?
after 28 days, never mind a year i think there is a good possibility she will be denied a visa, and her husbands visa, is dependent on her having legal status to work.
not sure if his employer will be fined, because i take it he was legally allowed to work when he started there and they checked his visa?. maybe if they do a yearly check on his status he will have a problem then and his employer ?
