Q: Why does
it take so long for my case to proceed?
A: Once we have determined
that an out-of-state referral is necessary, a request is
sent from our office to the other jurisdiction. The other
jurisdiction has ninety days from the date we sent the referral
to open the case. The only contact we can make with the
other jurisdiction during that time period is to request
an Acknowledgment letter after thirty to forty-five days.
After ninety days, we can send requests to the other jurisdiction
asking for the case status of your case.
