Hi all, Asking a question for a friend (we submitted our RC application mid-July). She has FP and is currently in the UK. She is American and is married to a Brit and they were living in Spain for a few years. She is thinking of applying for FLR (M) instead of RC after expiry of FP (as if you are in...

Is using an Article 10 or 20 residence card to enter the UK and stay a valid option or is it only really for visiting? I hear differing views that you can use one to enter and remain ...

Anyone?
