Both references are in town, and the AO's knows both of them quite well.

Mines taken over 3 months and have been told not to expect it done for another month at least.

The A cat relicencing is a concern as well. My A cat expires shortly (month) as well. It's sitting on the same desk as my E cat application. I really doubt I'm getting that back before my current one expires....
