Chris,
I have to agree wtih Mark. NYS OOP denied me 9 months of work experience because the firm was not licensed to call itself an LA firm similar to Mark’s case. I had my former employers submit a letter, but to no avail. I ended up just sucking up the time and waiting. I just took the C and E portions, conditional on the fact that I will have the required experience met in February this year.
Another pleasant note- I got an MLA as well with a non-design Bachelors degree. NYS told me that I had to have four years of work expereince, not two, as for some reason (unlike most states in the union) they do not give as much weight to the MLA as the BLA.
John
