My wifes settlement Visa just says 'no entitlement to public funds' and doesnt say anything about her right to work here...although i am sure she does have the right to work here.

After getting a nice little part time job offer for her locally, we apllied for and obtained a NI number and card on supplying copies of her passport and Visa.

It seems the NI card alone is not proof enough of her right to work here but the passport is needed as well. However, the guidlines i have read for employers are just so complicated it gives me little confidence that any potential employer will understand she has the right to be employed.

Why cant the UK border agency simply state it on the Visa....it might make life a lot simpler for everyone! Meanwhile my wife is worried that she wont be able to work.

Anybody else had this problem? The guidlines i have seen online just seem to show outof date documents and no examples like her UK entry clearance stamp.
