I'd heard so many rejection stories that I was genuinely anxious about applying. They flagged that I had the wrong consulate jurisdiction and probably saved my application. Took me roughly an hour and a half including gathering documents. The explanations of each field are short and human, not legalese. If you're nervous about the forms, just get this. One tiny thing โ clearer progress bar between sections would help.
