Your wife is allowed to work on her 2 year spouse visa and once she is employed her employer will sort out her National Insurance Number for her.

Is this correct??? I thought you needed a national insurance number before you could seek work.. Thanks for your advice

She could either contact her local Jobcentre to apply a NI but she must show an ID and proof that she is actively seeking for work or as I said above once she is employed her employer can sort this NI out for her.

I think looking for work first and letting her employer sort it out sounds a better idea.. She`s just been here 4 days, so she has plenty time to settle in and get used to her new home before we worry about working. I just like to know the rules for this. Again, thanks for your time and advice
