Seems to me that it depends what you want to do. It would be a major problem if you were about to apply for naturalisation, for instance - because IND's records (and the passport) would show that you weren't free of time limit at a time when it was crucial that you were.davidm wrote:I don't think it is a major problem- I had a few stamps on my passport with "Employment and Recourse to public funds prohibited". One even says "leave to remain for six months"- all this after ILR
And, should one wish to change jobs, the future employer can doubtless assume the same thing?Dawie wrote:......If they don't actually tell you that they've admitted you as a visitor, then you can safely assume that they've made a simple stamping mistake and that the actual entry in their database reflects the fact that you entered the UK as the holder of ILR and NOT as a visitor.
I have at least half a dozen stamps where the IO has accidently pressed the "employment prohibited.. etc"- did not have any problem in getting naturalised.ppron747 wrote:Seems to me that it depends what you want to do.

I'm with "Blessings" here - I think OP should contact the CIO at the airport she arrived at, if she hasn't already.
The fact is that it is possible for someone with ILR to be stamped in as a visitor entirely correctly, if the IO doesn't think they're truly returning to UK as a resident. My own (inexpert) view is that, if it was a mistake on the part of the IO, Sally should get it sorted out...
Who cares what the employer thinks? It doesn't change the fact that you have ILR, as the big reddish visa sticker in your passport says.And, should one wish to change jobs, the future employer can doubtless assume the same thing?
My employer knows what the stamps mean. If you feel comfortable having the incorrect stamp in your passport then that is up to you. I personally would try and get it corrected.Dawie wrote:Who cares what the employer thinks?

Besides, I have yet to find an employer who has any idea what an immigration stamp means.
