landing card question

Just wondering what to write on the landing card for length of visit as I have a settlement visa ?... Forever.... the date its good until ? Thanks

I wrote "Indefinite" and in parenthesis, something like, "Spouse visa valid until [date]; will apply for ILR as soon as eligible."

I don't know if there's an official thing to say, but the IO didn't have a problem with how I worded my card.  If there's a better thing to say, I'm sure someone will be around soon who can advise you better. 

I always write Resident and havent had any questions or comments from the IO's.

Same here.

I just flew back in to Gatwick yesterday and they checked my fingerprints to my biometric card. I thought that was a good idea to confirm my identity. They have never done that Heathrow, which is where I usually fly in and out of.

This is a new process (announced last summer) that is being rolled out to all points of entry:

When I arrived on my fiancee visa, I had written "indefinite" on my landing card, as even though the visa is good for 6 months, the length of my stay will be indefinite as I don't have to leave to apply for FLR, and I do indeed plan to stay in the UK indefinitely. The IO kind of crabbed at me that I should've put 6 months, as that's when my visa expires, but she let me go on without having to write another one.
