I don't know why it took them 4 hours to decide to let me in. Eventually they gave me a letter stating that I could stay in the country for 2 weeks. They needed to refer my case higher, because they did not think that my husband had been exercising treaty rights, and they did not think the surinder singh judgment applied to me. They tried to trick me several times into saying that my marriage was one of convenience.
They asked me the questions you listed below, what I was doing Spain, they went through my passport and questioned me on every stamp and visa (of which there are over 40 as I've travelled a lot), what did i do when i previously visited the uk, what I did when I previously lived in the UK, who did i live with, what was my address, what I intend to do, what my husband does, what he intends to do, what his parents do, where I will live, where he will live, what is his parents house like, what is their address, what are their names, his siblings, their ages, where we lived in spain, where we got married, when we got married, why we got married, why we got married in the US, why did i go to spain, what did i do when i got there, who did i live with, why we left spain, why we are in the uk, why was husband in spain, who is his employer, duration of employment, his reason for returning to uk, the list goes on.
I told them I had been twice refused for an FP in Madrid, I assumed it was on their system anyway.
Whatever you do, do not lie. They tried to catch me out several times, but because I was telling the truth they couldn't catch me.
I imagine they will make a call to Liverpool to find out if your RC application has been approved anyway.
