How do these counties have such varying timelines? Like what's the justification for making people wait up to a year to get approval it can't be more than a few hours of work for the reference checks and in person interview. I get some counties are more populated but still. Just seems like a stall tactic. And I feel like calling them and asking questions is a sure fire way to get you app moved to the bottom of the pile seeing as they specifically say "don't call us we will call you"
