Re: NY Third Department Swearing-in Date question
When I sent in my entire packet I wrote a cover letter asking to please expedite but it still took its normal course. I was complete the beginning of July and my swearing in date is November 16. But maybe other people have had better luck and turnaround time.

Re: NY Third Department Swearing-in Date question
I'd advise against waiting to submit your materials because the process takes a while. I submitted my materials in late January/early February and was given a September date. I did successfully move my date from September to August but I had a reason for doing so. I would imagine they would be amenable to giving you a later date but your materials have to be complete first.

Re: NY Third Department Swearing-in Date question
I took the February UBE in NJ and transferred my score to NY. The character and fitness process is the same when you transfer. I was shocked at how long it took becquse I was complete in early July and got my confirmation towards the end of August with a November 16 date. I think that I was just unlucky with the wait.screwtapeletters wrote:Did you take the Feb bar??Lawyerinwaiting89 wrote:When I sent in my entire packet I wrote a cover letter asking to please expedite but it still took its normal course.

Yes 3rd. If there is anything you can do to expedite the signatures, I'd work on it.Asroma wrote:3rd Department?
