I have passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam.  I am currently on my second job.  My first job lasted about 8 months.  I have been at my current job for about 1 year and 4 months.  I am looking to get my experience in as soon as possible.

Here is my question.  When I send the form to my old firm and they send in my experience and I have my current form fill out and send in the experience form, what happens if I only have let's say 1 year and 10 months of qualifying experience?  Will I have to start the process over or do I just need my current firm to sign off on an additional 2 months of experience once I have it under my belt?  In essence, my question is do you get credit for experience or is it a one shot deal each time you send it in?

Basically, I'm hoping to deal early with my old firm and even if I'm a month or two short, I'd like to get that experience in the system with NY.

Thank you for your help.
