I was putting together docs for visiting my sister and kept second-guessing every section. Their financial proof explainer was exactly what I needed to understand the bank letter rules. I printed everything double-sided as instructed and had zero issues. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. Far better than the official PDF that crashes half the time. Will be using it again for my next trip.
