Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
I dont know how or where the 60 "business" days fallacy keeps getting perpetuated. The CODIFIED statute says 60 days, not 60 business days. Just because they started telling everyone that they have 60 "business" days, it does not make it so. They can only get aways with it to the uninformed. If you submitted in December. and do not have any issues on your bg check...... and still feel like it's been too long.... The only logical recourse you have is to just call your local representative and explain that RSD is not holding up their end of the bargain. I doubt that you personally will get any satisfaction by calling in at this point. You local rep might though.
In any event... let's stop pretending on the 60 business days myth. If it was 60 business days, the law would specify that. Laws are written to be as specific as possible and would NOT leave out that fairly important distinction. You can you can choose to give them a few "extra weeks" prior to calling your rep due to the acknowledged backlog, which is what I intend to do (I'm still a few days short of 60 days - 57 to be exact), but the bottom line is: It's a two-way street; We must pay $$ and supply our "credentials" as to why we qualify and they have 60 days to conduct the requisite bg checks and either 1) issue the license, or 2) notify your that you've been denied or the need more info/clarification. Sure... they are busy, and I'm sure it sucks for them right now, but the bottom line..... that doesn't absolve them of their obligations. Most of us who work for a living that includes deadlines everyday likely FULLY understand this concept.
