Just to share some experience on entering the UK even with all the right residency documentation (as of recently)..
On 19 July I came back from having visited some family in Russia (yes, I am Russian..)
I hold Permanent Residency, flew into Heathrow Terminal 4. The officer questioned me for a good few minutes on who were my EEA national (ie mother/husband/neighbour..), when we got married, why i had come to their EU country 12 years ago to begin with etc etc

Question is - WHY are they questioning my immigration status when I have been living in UK for almost 6 years AND their own government have issued me with a PR??
Also, now that I am getting a divorce with my ex, what am I supposed to say?.
Can't wait to get a British passport next year (hopefully). I have been contemplating whether to actually go ahead and get it or not, but this last incident was the last drop..

PS> officers in Russia didn't know what a PR were, and thought this were some sort of a scam - having only seen an ILR
