Tips and Tricks for Bangladesh
Dear all,
many have contacted me for several tips, address of any reliable lawyer..crazy me i am so lazy , i have not started drafting the interview experience.
well here goes
1. Lawyer
in fact most of the lawyers are a group of thugs. in an organized way, they will collect money from you. beware of the offices at Magbazar. if you are a bachelor they will persuade you to get involved in a contact marriage. Embassy officials can instantly detect a contact marriage.
however i visited a counselor for a while. He is really good

a merely 10000 tk. expense is not a big deal, where the paperworks are done perfectly.
2. Police Clearance
It will take maximum 1 week to have the clearance. You have to make a treasury challan of Tk. 250 in favor of Bangladesh Govt. Well, go to Sonali Bank Farmgate Branch, collect a form and submit the Taka.
1. challan of Tk. 250
2. an application to the OC
3. photocopy of the passport
you must carry the original passport to the Police Station for their verification.
Go to the police station , once you get your 2nd letter. keep at least 10 days from your interview date. a recent dated clearance may help you , not to be fixed in the Security clearance/ Finger print net.
3. Medical
Any of them will do. my experience is Dr. Wahabs behavior is a bit rude. and i felt surprised when the honorable Doctor asked for the money. (his staff could collect it from me) Wait for the 2nd letter. it will take 30 minutes to get your medical done.

4. Birth Certificate
Dhaka City corporation will look after this. Make an affidavit from a notary . They will help you with this. Go to the Corporation office, do not talk to any meddlers or dalals, go directly to the office. may be 11th floor. you may collect the application form from
www.forms.gov.bd
you are bound to pay a service charge to the staff , ranging from tk. 300 to any. if you want an urgent one, you have to pay tk . 500
about others from other areas, contact the Pouroshava or local DC office.
5. Marriage Certificate
For all married couples , these papers should be included
a) nikahnama bangla and english version
b) marriage certificate
its better to have an additional court marriage certificate , if you get married after winning the Lottery (1st letter/ NL)
Photos are extremely important. Wedding photos as many as you can should be submitted, along with some personal photos of you two.
Remember: there will be head count in the photos, so the wedding photos must prove that you arranged quite a large wedding party. You should include all of the rituals like Turmeric party, the prayers, reception , nikah programs , everything.
its very easy to detect a false marriage. you will be staying in the embassy quite a long time. so forget the lottery , if anything is fake.
6. Educational certificates
Do not make translation of the original. Do not submit duplicate. For example , you have lost HSC marksheet, your HSC certificate is enough. do not for duplicate copy.
