I am a British citizen lacking any EU-privileges; my wife is Thai and currently has ILR.
My wife has the potential problem that the evidence of permission to work in the UK is an ILR vignette in an expired passport. She also has a letter recording the grant of ILR. It seems that a new employer will not have a statutory excuse if, say, her ILR has in fact lapsed.
Do potential employers have the right to refuse to employ her because they cannot avail themselves of a statutory excuse, or can she invoke the provisions against facial discrimination?
Am I right in thinking that if she obtains a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP), she will in future have to demonstrate near-continuous residence since being granted ILR, rather than since she last successfully applied for a BRP? I worry about her being able to do this when she is in her nineties.
