Trying to do this alone from Tlemcen was a lot harder than I expected. It caught a couple of things I had filled in wrongly and explained how to fix them. 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. Stress level went from 9 to 2. One tiny thing โ clearer progress bar between sections would help.
