Home Office report : The Migrant Journey.
http://www.migrantsrights.org.uk/news/2013/home-office-third-report-migrant-journey
This Home Office research report provides evidence on the behaviour of migrants entering the UK immigration system for the five main routes of entry to the UK and the common pathways through the Immigration System that result in settlement.
This third report follows on from ‘The Migrant Journey’ (Achato, Eaton and Jones, 2010) and ‘The Migrant Journey: Second Report’ (Achato, Eaton and Jones, 2011), by providing new analysis on two further cohorts of migrants granted entry clearance visas in 2005 and 2006 and migrants granted settlement in 2010 and 2011.
The report also provides updated estimates for the previously published 2004 and 2009 cohorts. For the first time migrants granted visit visas have been included.

Human Rights Watch has posted a report on its website, citing abuse of migrant works in Sochi. The report, which references dozens of interviews with workers in Sochi, claims working conditions violate Russian law and human rights. Russian officials deny the claims, while analysts doubt the allegations will affect the holding of the 2014 Winter Games.
