The sequence you have mentioned is most common.
FCL.940.FI(a)(1)(iii) allows you to do your AoC within last 12 months of the validity. FCL.940.FI does not specify the order of steps to be done.
However if you are taking your AoC before refresher seminar, we as a FIE(A) are not allowed to sign-off your certification of revalidation.
In such cases you need to bring licensing form and Refresher seminar course completion certificate to the CAA and apply for a new license to be issued.
Alternatively, you can come back to FIE, he. verifies your experience and he can sign-off the revalidation.
During revalidation of your FI, keep in mind FCL.935(c). In other words - if you are instructor on various classes, CAAs are requiring the revalidation on all classes you are allowed to instruct in.

As example: 1. Assessment of competence.
2. Finish the remaining instruction hours to fulfil the requirements before rating expiration or refresher seminar.
Thanks
