No, seriously now.Fabcat wrote:Hi, first time poster!
My work has asked to see my passport (along with all my none UK colleagues) as they are reveiwing the rights to work of all staff. I've worked there for 10 years now.
I have Indefinite Leave stamped on my US passport in the Visa section, and have lived in the UK for most of my life (my mum is UK, my father american). I've since married a UK citizen and have a child who is a UK passport holder....
OK, end of life story and on the question! AM I ok to work here? Need I worry? I hear its my employers responsibility to organise my work permits? Do they need one if I've indefinite leave? HELP!

Any individual who is granted indefinite leave to enter or remain in the UK, who is exempted from immigration control, or who has no time limit on their stay here may stay and work in the UK as long as they like. There are no immigration restrictions placed on the type of job you may offer them.
Indefinite leave to remain is the equivalent of a "Green Card" in the United States, so of course you have the right to work and your employer should have no problem with this.Fabcat wrote:Hi, first time poster!

Are you sure you're not already a British citizen by descent, through your mother?Fabcat wrote:Hi, first time poster!

Interesting! How do they know which colleagues are British unless they ask for evidence from them as well? They are not just going to take their word for it, surely!My work has asked to see my passport (along with all my none UK colleagues)
