A8: YES! You should, if you can, save your application locally (to either your computer hard drive or a CD) before you submit your application.

Second, if you are a frequent visa applicant, you can update your saved application the next time you wish to apply for a visa and submit the updated application. This will save you time by not having to re-enter information that has not changed since the last time you applied.
