I'm not great with forms, and the Schengen one was worse than any I've seen. The invitation letter template saved me hours of guesswork. I submitted on a Tuesday and had my passport back the following Monday. Everything is laid out so even my mum could follow it, and she's 68. Definitely better value than the agency that quoted me four times the price. Genuinely worth every penny. Only downside was I had to refresh once, but nothing lost.
