Default Travel on US or UK passport?

Hello,

I know this has been asked a few times before but for those who did their POE recently. I'm traveling from Manchester direct to Orlando with my IR-1 wife and I'm dual. As I understand it I should travel on my US passport but in the past UK immigration have insisted I use my UK passport. Any advice ?

Many thanks in advance.

You use your US passport if you’re heading to the US. Use your British passport when arriving at the UK border.

When entering or leaving the US...US citizens are legally required to use their US PPs.

And if entering UK on vacation use either for the shortest line.
