Hope this helps anyone (AB):
License Application: received March 31st 2022 via registered mail.
CC Charged: June 28th.
Had to call in to verify additional information on July 5th; pushed into photo scanning queue.
July 18th: Your application has been processed and your license has been issued.
NR to R. No boxes no references called. AB CFO seems pretty good about pushing licenses through once they make it past the photo-scanning queue. I called in probably 2x a week on the 1800 number to check my status from date of CC charge (menu options 152).
Cheers
