Trying to do this alone from Potosí was a lot harder than I expected. They flagged that I had the wrong consulate jurisdiction and probably saved my application. It printed out cleanly — no weird formatting issues at the consulate. Everything is laid out so even my mum could follow it, and she's 68. It's rare to find a form-filling tool that doesn't feel clunky. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
