Ahh I hate to break it to you, but I am now on about 21 months and have had no contact what so ever.
I have called the immigration number on numerous ocassions and basically, all they say is you just have to wait. I have complained via the immi website too and again all they say is you just have to wait.
I have heard of people in our occupation being confirmed quicker and I think it could have to do with being under the new Training Fee replacing the benchmarks? But obviously guess in the dark.
Surely it's any day for me?!
