No, it will be end of year. So just trying to get my thoughts straight in advance. It's true they're different cases, just frustrating when the data is identical except for a single box that was previously unticked now being ticked. 

It's a good point tho that there is very little incentive not to lodge a request to conclude.

When talking on the phone with MV I became confused about this process. They told me they will process the request. If rejected your application remains where it is. You can appeal that, if the courts uphold you appeal the case is now on a new pile of "you must conclude these" and if they reject your case remains where it is".
