Thanks a lot for your reply! I'm currently waiting for the province endorsement, and my country of residence is not US, I only hold a visitor visa in the US. Do you know if I would be allowed to apply from NYC VFS holding a tourist visa? Also, once the process is paper based, I understand that I will need to mail all the documents to the VFS in NYC once I start the TWP application. Therefore, I wouldn't need to be physically in the US by that time right? Only when they request biometrics and my passport I need to be in NYC, correct? Sorry for so many questions. I'm trying to figure out the timeline and when I would need to resign from my current job and leave my home country to apply for the TWP in NYC.
