    Let's not forget that the surcharge is there primarily to act as a disincentive ... in other words, it ISN'T so much a case of taking the piss - rather it's to DISCOURAGE too many people availing themselves of the Premium Service. Sure ... staff are accustomed to dealing with INDIVIDUAL applicants face to face day in and day out - by prior arrangement. But there are bound to be [literally] hundreds of thousands of immigrants seeking Permanent Residence throughout the UK at any given time. That's why an APPOINTMENTS System exists. And presumably WHY (as I've already pointed out above) the surcharge is set at such a high rate. Imagine the chaos there'd be if every one of those applicants turned up unannounced - expecting priority treatment - it would be a humanly impossible undertaking for the limited number of UKBA officials to cope with the sheer demand and carry out their necessary checks effectively.

    They could simply use an appointment system without a surcharge or such an exorbitant surcharge. Then that situation you described, Arthur, would not occur.

    Besides, at £991 , everyone should get priority treatment. And at £991 quid a shot they can afford to take on extra staff to process the paperwork in a more timely fashion.
