I recently applied for my Schengen visa. Antonella Mountjoy from Vasto Visa's assisted me. She was very well-informed about the process and was a great help throughout the process. Lately visas are being denied easily, so it is definitely worth getting the assistance. It might cost a little extra, but it is better to pay a little extra than to lose all the money you paid when you apply for your visa. Antonella is such a pleasure to deal with!
