None of your sentences are right.

This is my first time in NYC
This is the first time I have been in NYC
This is my first visit to NYC
This is the first time I have come to NYC

but i still think my first expression is correct:

This is my first time to visit NYC.

any comments?

It is not correct. These are the way your sentence can be written:

This is my first visit to New York.

This is my first time in New York.

This is the first time I have visited New York.

This is the first time I have travelled to New York.

This is the first time I have made a visit to New York..
