My partner is applying for a job with a large UK company. She submitted her ILR application 3 months ago as the spouse of a UK citizen, and hadn’t heard back since (it could be another three months...).
Because of this, her prospective employer doesn’t want to issue her with a full time contract. Instead they are offering a 6 month contract with an verbal understanding that it will be converted into a full time contract when ILR is granted.
Is there a law that forces them to do this? Is there anything we can do to avoid this?
The irony is that if she was not a spouse of a UK citizen they could easily get a visa for her as a skilled worker and there would be no problem, so she is penalised for being the spouse of a British citizen.
