Red face Immigration Agencies in Birmingham/West midlands

Hi, can anyone suggest a reliable immigration agency preferably in the west midlands/ Birmingham area. I have been looking on the internet and have e-mailed quite a few for quote's but only one has responded. They say we can have a free 5 minute phone conversation, then depending if my husband qualifies (which we know he will) it will cost £55.00 for the first consultation. They will then tell us roughly how much they will charge. Is this fee good or should i keep looking? Also they are in Scotland so a face to face meeting with them is impossible.
I was going to apply for the skilled iindependentvisa myself but have had ssecond-thoughts

Thanks Jackie

I used www.visabureau.co.uk We filled in the points test and they e-mailed us for permission to ring, we got a free phone call. We ddin't have to lay out any money until the TRA was due to be sent off. Then we paid £900. Followed by another £900 after this was received back.

I think yours are a bit cheeky charing £55 for your business

All ours was done by e-mail, which is probably quicker than having to wait for appointments etc.

Also the CO allocated is an expat so she knows what it's like.

Hi
We live in Telford.
We used Concept Australia in Manchester. Initial phone call very informative not costing anything.
We went up to Manchester once and then the rest was done via telephone and e mail.
Very efficient and not too pricey.
They won't take you on unless they believe you will get your visa.
Good Luck
Andrea
