I haven't seen a thread for 2014 work permit applications at NYC, so I thought I'd start one. I myself just applied online on March 10 and have not heard anything back. I am kind of anxious because I am supposed to start my job (postdoc) in mid-May. Anyone else applied earlier this year? Please share your experiences/timeline if you are still waiting or have received your decision and best of luck!

Hi All

I have applied for my ICT work permit to NY on 03/14/14 and have not heard anything back yet.
I have to start work by end of May.

Do we know what dates are being processed currently. Anyone got a positive response who applied @ same time?

Thanks

I sent them an inquiry and got this reply today:
All applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received. An exact schedule of completion is not available at this time as our processing time is a minimum of (30) thirty days. Please be advised that as of today, we are processing files received on February 26, 2014.

So they should be processing our March apps pretty soon.
Good luck to everyone!

Thanks, based on current timelines we should hear something in 15 days.
I applied for ICT on Mar 14th, and then got request for additional documents on Mar 30th. Would this push out the approval dates for me?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi
I applied online for a work permit with LMO on March 15th.
I didn't have any reply from them.
The problem is that my current US visa is ending in less than a month. I don't know what to do.
What happens if I go back to my country while my application is here in NYC? How will I get a visa?

Hi, VancWP,
Did you get any update from cic about passing medical in the process, if so, how long before your ppr? I applied sowp on March 23, and I got message about medical passed last Friday, wonder how long to wait.
Thanks.

This waiting game is killing me.
It looks like people who applied after me (March 10) have started getting their passport requests a few weeks ago so I don't understand why mine is taking so long. My work permit/TRV application is LMO-exempt so I thought it would process faster.

Oh, never mind, they requested my passport today.
Good luck to everyone else still waiting, especially the March applicants, I think you should be hearing back from them soon.
