I'm not great with forms, and the Schengen one was worse than any I've seen. Their sponsor letter sample is basically what the consulate wanted, which I appreciated. Got a two-year multiple entry, which I didn't even think was possible. Support answered a quick question about bank statement translations in minutes. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. If the consulate had a recommendation list, this would be on it.
