With only three weeks until my appointment, I needed a quick but careful solution. Having the form and letters in one place meant I didn't miss anything. Took me roughly an hour and a half including gathering documents. Everything is laid out so even my mum could follow it, and she's 68. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. Much cheaper than a travel agent and probably more accurate.
