The Supreme Court agrees the family Immigration Rules strike a fair balance between the interests of those wishing to sponsor family to settle in the UK and of the community in general.</p><p>We have taken a number changes to simplify the process, for example, we have created online application forms, improved customer guidance and no longer ask for original documentary evidence in most cases.
