If she is eligible, why does she need assistance from a solicitor? If her application is overly complicated (criminal record comes to mind for example), then that would be one reason for hiring a solicitor, otherwise, I wouldn't have thought it necessary.

you're absolutely right, she has no criminal record and it's just easier that's all for someone else to file the papers etc and using a lawyer on recommendation is always an advantage. Tks
