Visa officers strike

[saikatz]

Hi,

My spousal processing is in the London office, almost in the end part. Just heard about the strike going on there of the visa officers. I am just wondering what is the latest update on the issue? how long do you think this will delay the visa process?

Thanks and regards
Saikat

When did the strike begin?

... and does it look like it is going to be a long one?

Any indications for how long this will be effecting us? :'(

Can someone post news information on this, links to articles etc, I know there are prolly many threads that already have them but then I'd have to spend hours hunting them down...this is easier.

This whole strike business is so unbelievably stressful. :'(
