Hi everyone!

Has anyone here applied for both at the same time or applied for one following the other?

I am planning to go to the UK and a few Schengen countries this year. Just looking for some opinion I'm thinking of submitting my application for the UK visa first, the thing is my exit plan for UK is to take the eurostar to Paris. I'm wondering if that would be acceptable, with the fact that by the time I lodge my application I won't have the Schengen Visa yet. I'm open to suggestions

Thank you in advance! I have always find forums like this much more helpful than the information provided by the embassy. Nothing beats personal experience
