I'd heard so many rejection stories that I was genuinely anxious about applying. They flagged that I had the wrong consulate jurisdiction and probably saved my application. I used the printed documents directly and didn't change a thing. Definitely better value than the agency that quoted me four times the price. Honestly felt like having a patient friend walk you through the process. Genuinely worth every penny. Slight feedback: a downloadable checklist PDF would be perfect.
