Mauricio Member Member # 1882	Posted September 16, 2002 12:07 AM Hi. I guess that you have sent all the documents (marry docs, etc)to the Home Office. What you should get is just a stamp on her pastport with a leave to remain. This is not a workpermit, she is allow to work after beeing married to a UK national, she doesn't need her passport back in order to start working. Good luck,

Hi.

I guess that you have sent all the documents (marry docs, etc)to the Home Office. What you should get is just a stamp on her pastport with a leave to remain. This is not a workpermit, she is allow to work after beeing married to a UK national, she doesn't need her passport back in order to start working.

Good luck,
