There are many reasons why thousands of people choose to move to the UK every year. For some, it may be for a relationship, work, study, or family.
Whilst the reasons behind this move are usually pretty straightforward, navigating UK immigration law can be an extremely arduous, time-consuming and complicated venture.
Government statistics show that, in the year ending March 2019, 612,000 people moved to the UK (immigration) and 385,000 people left the UK (emigration). This is almost 1,000,000 people who were forced to deal with immigration law’s tight policies.
Protection-based immigration was offered to 17,304 people in the year ending March 2019. This is defined as immigration offered by the UK government form of humanitarian protection, grants of asylum, alternative forms of leave and resettlement.
This number was up 22% from the previous year and was the highest number of people granted protection in the UK in a single year since the year ending September 2003.
