As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. 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. I had friends warn me about common mistakes and none of them showed up here. The consulate clerk even commented that my file was well prepared. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
