This applies only to the Isle of Man and although there are differences between the process and the process in the UK there are also many similarities.
I paid a visit to the Isle of Man Immigration today on Prospect Hill. Just walked in. No queue and no appointment necessary.
All requirements are outlined on the form SetM : APPLICATION FOR INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN IN THE ISLE OF MAN AS THE PARTNER OF A PERSON PRESENT AND SETTLED IN THE ISLE OF MAN

Valid for use from 1st May 2012
The fee for applying for ILR in the Isle of Man
If you are a sole applicant on form SET(M) and no dependants are applying with you, there is a fee of £991. This is a flat fee. There is no surcharge for delivering by hand. In fact they prefer to see the applicants rather than have applications posted.
Life in the UK Test
This can be taken at the local college in Douglas ( Tel 648237 ). The test fee is £60 and can be taken on the first wednesday of every month with just 2 weeks notice and the results are available the day after the test.
A supplement to the UK Life in the UK Test books can be purchased for £2.50 called Life in the Isle of Man. Of the 24 Life in the UK Test questions asked, 6 of them will be on Isle of Man related material.
For example:
During which month is the open air Tynwald ceremony held each year?
a] May
b] June
c] July
d] September
BRP (Biometric Residence Permit)
No such requirement on the Isle of Man
