Among the requirements for those seeking permanent residency or citizenship in Britain is a 24-question test designed to assess applicants\u2019 knowledge of their adopted home, covering topics including rugby, the country\u2019s first curry house and the War of the Roses.<\/p>\n

The test is supposed to prove that applicants have \u201csufficient knowledge of British values, history and society,\u201d according to the Home Office. But one London woman, the agency said, saw it as a moneymaking opportunity.<\/p>\n

The woman, 61, was arrested in the British capital on Monday on suspicion of fraudulently completing the exam, known as the \u201cLife in the U.K. Test,\u201d for at least 14 applicants, \u201callowing them to gain an unfair advantage in their applications to remain in the U.K.,\u201d the Home Office said.<\/p>\n

The woman wore different wigs and disguises, the authorities said, to impersonate applicants \u2014 both male and female \u2014 and take the test for them. Her motive, the Home Office said, was financial gain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
