I was putting together docs for a summer holiday and kept second-guessing every section. The cover letter format they use reads professionally and it's already structured the way the embassy likes. Took me roughly an hour and a half including gathering documents. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. Will be using it again for my next trip. The only small thing โ I'd love a dark mode.
