Trying to do this alone from Ratnapura was a lot harder than I expected. The cover letter format they use reads professionally and it's already structured the way the embassy likes. The officer at the embassy barely asked any questions, which I took as a good sign. Honestly felt like having a patient friend walk you through the process. I'll definitely come back the next time I apply. Slight feedback: a downloadable checklist PDF would be perfect.
