An update/FYI for all of the New York State CPA hopefuls…

I passed the Exam in February 2012 and my final application and experience paperwork got to the New York State BoA on April 13, 2012. After multiple inquiries and hearing the wait time stretch from 4-6 weeks to 6-8 weeks to more than 8 weeks, I finally received a license number on July 17, 2012. The BoA has one person evaluating experience forms.

I should receive my parchment in 2 weeks or 4 weeks or more than 4 weeks.

I am very happy to be an official CPA in the great State of new York!!

Certificate shows up in a flat cardboard envelope. My parents were pretty hilarious, not daring to open it until I came home (several weeks later).

Couldn't pass again!

Herbie – you received yours within a few weeks? My boss was asking me this question last week. How long would it take. That scares me that it took Sean that long.

It took 3 weeks after they board received form 4b from my boss. Ya I wonder why his took so long…I have a friend passed in Feb, who told me she sent her forms in May And still nothing…I got my license # on the website on a Wednesday, and then 3 days later on Saturday the wall certificate and green registration certificate came in mail.

GREAT!!! They're probably backlogged. That's going to hold my promotion even longer.

As someone who just waited 3 months to get a license after getting all paperwork in, including form 4b from KPMG, you rest easy knowing that the NYS BoA is extremely backlogged. I'll update once I get my certificate in the mail.

Congrats Sean! Welcome to the club. Go get a custom made frame done to top off your memorable achievement! I did mine at Michael's they did a great job!

In case anyone was curious about another NY processing time…the last of my paperwork was sent to them on 8/28 (4 & 4B). I emailed them a week later to make sure they received it and they told me that they were behind (just opening mail from 7/20). I think I have a long wait ahead of me.

[Herbieherb]

@ny my friend got her license last month she told me it was exactly a three month wait…

FYI, I sent in what I thought was the last of my paperwork in June. In August I gave them a call and found out that they were missing one item. I sent the information that was missing and they forwarded the paperwork to NYS Board. I got my license sometime within the last week or two.

The wait can be long, but when the certificate comes, it feels good!

[mycpa]

Can someone please tell me the required forms I need to file to get the license? I passed all 4 parts and was a little confused about which forms I needed to file. Do I need to file only forms 4 & 4B? what about form 1 & 2?

Thanks.
