I was wondering if anyone with experience could tell me how long the process takes. Assuming I submit my completed file in two weeks, how much longer from then should the swearing in ceremony be?

My friend passed July and still hasn't been sworn in. They said they lost his paperwork. I hope you're not in a rush to be admitted. NY takes a while.

Crap. I was hoping that the process would be speedier for Feb-takers since there are far fewer exam-takers then.
