Well here in the UK if your not in IOM, the choices are:- 1) 'same day service' which takes a week 2) Submit papers through the settlement checking service or 3) post documents directly to UKBA in which case nothing is checked beforehand.

At least using 2) you know your payment has been accepted and your documents have been checked .
