Dear Mr Boden,
Thank you for your recent e-mail.
Please be advised that our office is not currently on strike and there has been minimal impact to our processing times. I can advise you that your file is currently awaiting review from an Immigration Officer, however your file is now near the front of this queue.
Yours sincerely,
