I see from the UKBA website that it costs £350 extra to do it this way. (£1250 versus £900)

My wife will sit the "Life In the UK Test" soon. She arrived in the UK on 12th May 2009.

I'm just wondering what the benefits are applying for permanent residence in the office versus filling out the form and sending by post.
Not at all ... the reason we decided to fork out the extra £350 was because I'm none too patient when it comes to waiting up to 3 months or more for either good or bad news; it's far too stressful and nerve-wracking!! Best to "get it over and done with" is my motto. Besides, Glasgow's little more than an hour's bus ride from Perth ... so it would've been easy enough to *nip back home and return the next day with any crucial document(s) we'd forgotten. Thankfully, *that wasn't necessary.

Good Luck to Rochelyn when her turn comes.
