> From my understanding you're not "working illegally"... Yeah, she was never working illegally. In fact, assuming she'd started her job before April 2015 and her employer had properly verified that she had the right to work in the UK (which they could do by checking that she had ILR, even if it was in an expired passport), everything was fine. She wasn't working illegally, and her workplace had no reason to suspend her. Mind you, she'd still need a BRP (or at least have applied for a BRP) to get a new job.
