Really? The online form is a b1tch. It always gives error of incompleteness. You have to have a level of desperation to complete the form. I many times almost gave up just for the effort of filling up the form.
Then police certificates takes time, especially I have lived in multiple countries.
Then for me arranging money in my account was a pain and a financial loss as I keep all my money invested.
But her consultant was charging extra just for creating the second profile (that's what I was referring to), not for the PCC and all the rest. And since she already has one profile, the consultant would only have to copy everything from the first one, they don't need anything extra (which is what the consultant said to justify the big charge).
I know everyone's experience is different, but I found the online form very straightforward, I only got a a message of incompleteness once, right after creating it in the language area, I went back and it was now showing an option for french. I just chose "no" for both of us, saved and exited. Easy peasy.
Re: Arranging for funds, that's not something a consultant can do for you anyway. PCC, depending on the country, you might have to do it yourself as well. Consultant or not there's a lot of work we have to do ourselves.
