Also, hiring the services of a solicitor will be useful in many regards; he/she will help you prepare the documentation and assemble the application package so you are not missing any document and can assure the family relationship is valid and accordingly proved. Also, a solicitor will arrange the appointment at the immigration office and follow up the case from beginning to end, that is, until the residence card is issued and, if this is the case, until the Spanish passport is granted.
