Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Two consistent, complete visa applications that match the official checklist.

Questions to ask me first:
- Where are you applying from, and to which country?
- Who is sponsoring whom?
- What are your travel dates and plans?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Applying from: [CITY, COUNTRY, JURISDICTION]
- Destination: [COUNTRY]
- Applicants and sponsor: [NAMES, ROLES]
- Trip: [DATES, CITIES]

Rules:
- Use the official checklist for our exact jurisdiction and link it.
- Keep facts identical across both applications.
- Mark which documents need originals and which need copies.
- Don't invent bookings or figures; leave blanks for me.

Checkpoint: Show the jurisdiction-specific checklist before drafting any documents.

If you get stuck: If an online tip conflicts with the official checklist, follow the checklist and flag it.

Verify before you finish: Every form field matches the supporting documents.

Output: A document list per applicant, drafted letters and an error report.

Done when: Both applications are complete, consistent and ready to submit.

Outcome

Shubham Sharma applied from India for Schengen visas for Sharma and Sharma's wife, two linked applications with Sharma as sponsor, using Claude instead of an agent. Claude worked from the official checklist and dozens of recent visa-rejection threads, and caught that Sharma had started from a generic India-wide checklist: the destination's requirements for the New Delhi jurisdiction differed, which changed the application and cut the paperwork significantly. Claude drafted two cover letters, a sponsorship affidavit for notarization, a self-employment letter and a day-by-day itinerary, then simplified them. It cross-checked the final forms and flagged human errors, including a missing digit in Sharma's mobile number and a checklist box that contradicted the letter beside it, and helped sequence the appointments and decide which documents needed originals. Both visas came through.
