hi
i am not quite sure where you have to apply for it since you are in NY.it can be in DC or NYC. i did apply for ILE in 06 and since i had been living in TX, i had to apply at california. well, to get you started on the process, you need to have your I20 if you are a student, you parents job letter if they are in uk, bank statement of your parents.. and a letter from your parents saying that you are dependent and your parents still supports you for your studies..( this letter from your parents is imp) . anyway, just go through this website, and it will tell you a lot but these are the documents i submitted when i appied and got it. so you can do the same if you want to be maite from bud reke.

good luck.
