I am currently (11/16/16) waiting for my renewal resident permit to be approved (submitted 11/1/16). I called on day 14 (11/14/16) to inquire, and was told that they were still waiting on one reference to get back to them. When I brought up the 14 day clause, I was told that was from "date of complete application, including return of references". This is not how I interpret the law as outlined in 159:6. I have no criminal record of any kind, and have required a clean background check for every job that I have worked since graduating college (private security, police dispatch, sales for a major firearms manufacturer). Can they continue to delay my renewal approval based on this reference? My previous renewal, none of my references were even contacted.
Does any one have relevant statutes or cases to reference?
