My previous Schengen application was rejected, so this time I wanted to do everything properly. Going through the checklist for a France visa specifically (not a generic one) made all the difference. Approved in nine working days. It's not flashy โ it just works, which is exactly what I wanted. Support answered a quick question about bank statement translations in minutes. Stress level went from 9 to 2. One tiny thing โ clearer progress bar between sections would help.
