Hi chellam,

I am just mentioning the case of my friend who is a dentist:
He got the emergency appointment on the basis that he is working , and he is a dentist so he has patients to look after ,some of them need immediate care like root canal surgery etc etc.
He got this Letter from his employer/hospital and on the basis of that he got the emergency appointment.
I am just mentioning this as ur profession is also Doctor but only drawback in ur case is that U haven;t start working yet for the employer...
Anyway if you are able to get such letter stating the urgency from ur employer ...u may try for it.
One more thing my friend called VFS and got the confirmation from them that he is eligible for it on the basis of the employer's letter.

Thanks and Regards,
Abhay
