Hey everyone.
I am composing an email and I have a problem. Is the statement below grammatically correct?

"Since then, neither my application status has changed, nor have I received any response to my emails regarding my application."

Then, if this not the true form, could you please correct it?
Thanks.

:down: Nearly, though - all the words are right, but one is out of place! ;-)

"Since then, neither has my application status changed, nor have I received any response to my emails regarding my application."

You could also say "Since then, while my application status has not changed, I have received no response to my emails."

PS *I think you can probably drop the 'concerning my application', as I imagine the email's addressed to someone who deals with nothing else (at this time of year).
