Good luck. Are you going for premise or carry?

Next step will be notification that an investigator has been assigned. That will take a long time.

Here's my permit journey:

• Since 1982 - Long time NYC Premises holder
• June 26 2022 - Applied for Carry after Bruen SCOTUS ruling. Used standard Business Carry application, typed "No Longer Applicable" in the justification section.
• June 30 2022 Received fingerprinting exemption email based on existing permit. Website status changes from Submitted to Investigation.
• Feb 10 2023 Received email - Investigator assigned, asked for various docs to send in, such as 2 reference letters, DMV record, cohab affidavit, etc.
• Feb 17 2023 Emailed all requested documents (10 items)
• Feb 19 2023 Investigator requested an additional cohabitant affidavit from son who lives at home, sent in same day.
• Feb 23 2023 Website status changed to Approved. When I saw this, called Investigator who said wait for letter.
• March 1 2023 Received snailmail "Notice or Application Approval" letter along with a blanket purchase auth and instructions to request an appointment.
• March 4 2023 Emailed back the requested forms, receipts, handgun/safe pictures, requesting appointment to pick up permit.
• March 13 2023 Called 1PP to inquire status, as had not heard from them, No answer, left message.
• March 14 2023 Received email apologizing for delay, and setting appointment for March 30 to pick up permit.
• March 30 2023 - Got it.

Notes:
Because of when I applied, I was exempted from additional CCIA info (face-to-face interview, 4 letters-reference, social media) as per NYC Emergency Order dated 8/19/2022, but needed to present my 16+2 training certificate for issuance.

A post on a firearms message board that I follow indicated that in February someone at 1PP said they have received 500,000 applications since Bruen/SCOTUS and they are focusing on those who already have Premises permits.

Thanks for sharing, it helps get insight. When you say "That will take a long time" after investigator being assigned: I see your case took about 2mo after that. Do you predict the same here? If so, I think about 2mo is relatively OK comparatively to the 1-2yrs I'm expecting

Hi to all,

I finally got my fingerprints appointment for my NYC premises application after 159 days of having applied! I'll offer a timeline hoping that it could help fellow noobs get some insight on the process (I will update as i have news):

• Applied: Nov 26 2022
• Acknowledgement and fingerprint and interview appointment scheduled: May 4, 2023
• Fingerprint and interview appointment scheduled for: May 19, 2013

I was advised I'm missing some documents, but this seems pretty standard since those docs were not requested when i applied. I should be able to procure those easily.

So, that's all for now! If anyone can shed any light on what i should expect (and, mostly WHEN) after my interview/fingerprints appointment, i'd be grateful to hear!

Thank you all!
Jay

• Nov 26 2022: Applied
• May 4, 2023: Acknowledgement and fingerprint and interview appointment scheduled for May 19, 2023
• May 19, 2013: Fingerprint and interview appointment completed.
  
  Fingerprinting and "interview" was a breeze! I went in 40min early, paid the fingerprinting fee and had them done immediately. Clerk said "your questionnaire was your interview, you're good to go", so i didn't even get to see my interviewer, forget sit down with him. Maybe they're a bit more flexible for premises...?
  
  Status on the website changed to "Investigation" and I'm now expecting the email that says that and investigator has been assigned.
  
  Fingers crossed!!!
