VAF5 for 18yr old daughter- do we need a solicitor

[tina999]

Hi we are about to progress the application for my husbands daughter in the Ivory Coast. We are waiting now 7.5 months on his RC.
Although she will remain at school for a while we want tobe able to start to bring her here, on holidays etc initially
Questions?
I assume its okay to go ahead with this will waiting on RC?
Do we need a solicitor (£460) or any reason why we can't do ourselves?
She is a dependant we pay her schooling, she stays mostly at boarding school on holidays with very rare visits to her mother.
Who schedules the appointment with her at the Embassy as I assume she needs to visit in the Ivory Coast?

Many thanks
