I got a very similar response when I called them
Visa Grant Delay 189
Yeah right, even if we assume that his case was so complex which requires DHA to do space research and work closely with NASA to verify his application (which we know cannot be the case 
) , even then, doesnāt he deserves to be contacted in 2 years atleast once and check that if he can help in providing some more informationā¦ God knows whatās happening in this black holeā¦i truly believe this process is like black hole which even the light cannot pass, once anything goes inside no one knows if and when it will come outā¦
Congratulations Anubhaā¦ Hopefully they havenāt forgotten our files ā¦Parveen, Roomi, and I have been waiting since December

Has anyone been contacted by a CO named Aleksandra? 
another slow day from DHA
Hi Folks, Not sure how relevant this is to the followers of this sub-forumā¦
I had applied for 485 visa on 21-May-2019, I also applied for 189 visa on 11 June 2019 with 85 points.
The processing times for 90% of 485 applications are 4 months. Off course, I am well passed this limit. Yesterday, I wrote back to the CO ( who made contact asking to provide more information regarding my 485 application on 13-May-2019). I asked, is the delay in my 485 application due to 189 application or is there some other reason? If, Yes, I assure you that I can withdraw my 485 application, as 189 is most important to meā¦ I received a reply today, saying, the SA temporary graduate visa processing team is in the process of making sure that all the legal requirements are met for this application. Unfortunately, security, health and character checks can take months in some cases. and they will try their best to process my 485 application as soon as possible They did not comment on my 189 application at all.
Not sure how long I will have to wait for my 189 application, I care less for my 485 application.
Cheers
If I can wait patiently for close to 2 years without a CO contact, then I guess everyone on this forum can wait for a lot lesser time. Have patience guys, your day will come.
