Hi guys, does anyone know how long it takes to get your license number and the certificate in New York State? I am beginning to get a little worried because I sent in my experience requirements the week of September 7th, and as of October 10th, I have not heard anything. I also tried searching my name on the New York CPA database and found nothing.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back from these guys? Should I call or e-mail them?

Thanks,

I'm in VA though.

Is there any difference, if I don't work anymore for the firm where I got my experience? Can I still have them sign off on my experience without waiting for the official congratulatory letter from NASBA?

I am waiting already a few weeks for the congratulatory letter after I passed my last part.

The congratulatory letter is mainly for the fridge and/or people who can get reimbursement once they've completed the exam.

Thank you, that's the answer I was looking for.
