Bringing a loved one to live with you or extending their rights to remain in the UK has often been a topic of much scrutiny.
The latest findings in a report released in May 2023 by the Office of National Statistics ONS confirmed net migration to the UK during the 12 month period March 2022 to March 2023 to be around 600,000.
