I think there's no point in describing the path from the idea of going to the visit to the embassy; there's nothing complicated there anyway. The main thing is not to stress and to believe that everything will be fine. But not stressing is more important after all. In general, these are the two main points that really help)))

The embassy itself is not nearly as scary as they say. That you need to prepare and that they might refuse. Pfff... you shouldn't stress. Even a person who doesn't know the language all that well can easily get a visa. Yes, not even just 'not that great', but someone who learned about the existence of English yesterday and, after spending a day with a textbook, can get a visa.

(later there will be photo reports, etc., etc.)

And by the way, it's a pity that cameras are not allowed in the embassy)) the guards there are like carbon copies from American action movies
