Should have done it from India before she left cheap easy and good cover. ICICI was my choice every time I went to the UK. Doubt you will get it now she has left, at least you know for next time.

If you are applying from India it would be sensible to submit your most recent bank statement. Obviously when a sponsor sends his there is a slight delay that allows for them to be sent to India.

It is my understanding that you can take the baby out of the UK You will then need to apply for a visa from India. You will obviously require various documents to be taken from the UK before you travel so make sure you have all those prior to travelling.

The immunisation schedule is a little different in India. Do ensure that you get any jabs done at a good hospital where it is clean. You may also want to think about other jabs not given in the UK routinely
