SOMV Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hello all, I am not sure if this has been posted already, but just in case, the Department is on strike until the 26th of June. This may mean that you will not receive email replies during this time, and that processing will be slow during this time. Also, if you are flying into or out of Australia, there may be delays at the airports. More details about the strike, and updates, can be found here: http://www.newsroom.immi.gov.au/releases/60879986-528a-4cfe-bbe4-16b879795994 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
