IIRC, the employment affidavits don't have a similar timeline.

I'm not even sure that I agree with your premise. I think it might different by department.

+1. No time limit in First Department.

2nd Department they only require that your current employment be dated within 60 days of your application date. The rest of them there does not seem to be a time limit.

Hello Guys,

I need your advice regarding employment affidavits.

Foreign student here. Currently based in the UAE. Passed the NY Bar in feb, 2016. While I was studying for the Bar, I was employed at a law firm as paralegal for almost 4 years. After the exam, changed jobs and worked as a paralegal in corporate dept. This month I resigned from my current job and going back to previous job to work as a paralegal in their dispute resolution dept. Since I am under one month notice period now with my current job and also expect to send my applications by next week, do you think I should add my re-joining of previous law firm in additional legal employment affidavit.

Regarding traffic fines, even though I do not have any existing tickets, am I required to disclose the previous tickets I paid off?

Lastly, I have had one to two reminder letters from bank to pay my student loan instalment back in 2014. I have been in top of my loan payments since then and never had any issues with the bank. In fact my loan would be fully paid off within the next couple of months. Do I need to disclose the fact that I received reminder letters from Bank back in 2014?

Would highly appreciate guidance.

Thanks

I can only answer the traffic tickets - I disclosed the traffic tickets I paid off (speeding and disobeying device) because I plead "guilty" and was "convicted" these all happened in Ny in 2008

If in doubt, just disclose
