Sounds like you need to think about national certification/registration by the ARRT and state licensure by the state of NY.

However, I think you're in a tight spot and will need to contact the ARRT ASAP.

Here's what they say about taking the national exam:
Eligibility to participate in the certification examination must be established within five years of program completion. That information and much more can be found in a PDF document on the ARRT website here:

After your conversation with the ARRT, you might want to contact the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene here: www.health.state.ny.us or call them 212-676-1550

Good luck
