Hi, I am in the same boat. The way I understand is that RI they have thirty days to process app. but will deny within the first 15, then if the 30 expires or if needed they will contact you for appt. for pic. ID. And if all this fails as I am getting the sense that they are overburdened down there. Then after 35 days the copy of your application is verification as a patient. Most places acknowledge this since it i written into the Act. Did you take your app. down there or mail it in? I have mailed mine and asked for a rec'd timesramped copy to be returned. If it doesnt get here soon I will be going to the capital in person with a copy to have it stamped. If you search online most you can contact RIPAC or RIMMEO or try searching under RI dispenseries. Good luck.
