I'd heard so many rejection stories that I was genuinely anxious about applying. The cover letter format they use reads professionally and it's already structured the way the embassy likes. I was in and out of the VFS centre in under 20 minutes because my paperwork was tidy. The explanations of each field are short and human, not legalese. Honestly felt like having a patient friend walk you through the process. Stress level went from 9 to 2.
