Our GP just signed ours without question. But I have heard of some not willing to do so. Could you get in to another GP in the practice who might be more flexible? Do you know any doctor's personally who might help out?
Yes - passport, bank statements, medical cert and police check. I only scanned in the first page of each month's statements (too keep the file small enough) but posted off all pages, stamped by my bank
From submitting the application to getting visa back in the post was only about 7 working days. So once you have originals and scan them in, you're good to go.
it's not hard. Just boring. Once you've created an account it takes you through step by step. Save every page. Crashed a few times and had to start again. Hardest was getting files to right size. I'll let you know when done
Print off medical cert and your GP should complete and stamp it for you. Ours charged 20 quid. No examination or anything. I just handed to reception and picked it up days later. Easy
Also, the last doc they ask for is something like "proof you have the right to permanent residency in UK ". Anyone know what I can use for this? I have also emailed embassy to ask
