Hi,

Can OCI card holder(UK Citizen) doctor practice as Gynaecologist in India ? (After clearing MCI exam)

Hi vinny,

Checked ith BA and they told me letter of consent is not required as long as valid passports and visas are there.
However as I booked the flight ticket but not travelling, they suggested my wife to carry a photocopy of my bank statement of the card with which I booked the ticket.

Hi vinny,

Just now I called UK Visas & Immigration, they told me only if me and my wife ae divorced, then only she needs consent letter from me. Otherwise it's not at all required.

Hi vinny,

My wife's surname in her passport is her birth surname.
My son's surname is my surname.
In my son's passport, we got same full names of me and my wife(with her birth surname).

Do you think I need to get this letter of consent notarized ? Or just sign it and scan and send to my wife ?

Hi vinny, My wife & son are travelling with British Airways. I took the printout of the the airindia form and I can fill details and sign it giving consent for my wife to travel with my son to UK. Do I still need to get this form notarised in UK ? Or a scanned copy with my signature and passport...

Hi vinny,

My wife is travelling with my son this Friday.
So technically I got only 3 days left before her travel.
If I get my chil travel consent letter notarized, can I scan it and send it ? Ot should I send the original notarized document only?

Hi Vinny, Thanks for the reply. The links you gave are for the cases where child is travelling with other adults who are not parents. It says: "The following should be borne in mind when a child / infant is accompanied by other adults and not traveling with their parents. " But in my case,...

Hi Shri, Called them again and they said BDHC will send all documents to VFS and VFS will complete their standard sign off process and send those documents to my home adrress. Seems it's positive decision as they made decision within 1 day after receiving baby's photos and hospital documents. I hope...

Hi shrikant124, I called UKVI today and the call centre guy told me a decision has been made and application has been closed. VFS will contact you about collecting the documents. Don't know what does this mean ? Can't figure if it indicates application has been approved or not ? They didn't send us ...

shrikant124,

Did you got any update from UKVI ?

shrikant124,

Thanks for the info. It looks like so many documents required to convince them.
These supporting documents they should mention on their website so that anybody who applies will be aware of it.
Thanks for the details info, I will do same.

hi shrikant124, We are also submitting photos of my wife when she was pregnant. The email mentioned " Photographs taken at the time of pregnancy or at the hospital after birth of applicant " That's why we are submitting photos for both. Did you submitted any photos of baby taken at the hos...

Thanks Shrikant124, I thought VFS is secure but as you mentioned DHL also should be fine. I might need these supporting documents when we apply for my son's British passport in future. That's why I want them to safely reach BDHC without any loss and be returned after ROA is approved alon with all ot...

Hi Amit,

I think certified copy of your british passport should be fine.
Your naturalization certificate should be original

They gave the address to which the envelope to be sent. I thought it will be more secure if we submit through VFS. Alternative I can send it through DHL to Chennai BDHC. Anybody submitted additional documents through VFS ? If so, plz let me know if I have to book appointment with VFS to submit addit...

Hi vinny, shrikant124, hima,

to submit these additional documents, do I have to book an appointment with VFS or can my wife directly go to Hyderabad VFS office to submit these additional documents ?

Please help me. Urgent.
