Nice one braveheart. :) Its as simple as that.

It does make you wonder why postals take 3 to 6 month while the same service takes.....one day.

The requirements are minimal to say the least as all the legwork has been performed on the entry visa.

According to the application form, you need to submit passports plus photocopies of the passports with all the stamped pages. I guess saving them time and money.

It also states all paperwork original.

Hello ConfusedMe,

Modesty aside, the Life in the UK test is easy! Read the recommended reviewer and do a lot of practice test on the computer.

I am sure everything will be fine and you'll pass it :)

Best of luck and wishing you all the best.
