Just as an FYI for future MN CPAs interested in the process, I wanted to post a brief account of my experience. I did see another forum on MN Licensure timeline, but found it a little hard to follow, so thought I would post something fresh. Here is my timeline:

11/24/14 – took final section of exam (REG)

12/9/14 – received notice that I passed (NASBA online results)

Mid-December – took and passed the AICPA ethics exam.

Late December – submitted requests for transcripts, sent reference forms and experience forms to relevant people

1/14/15 – sent in formal application with payment

1/16/15 – spoke with MN Board office to confirm all elements of my application had been received and were in process

1/20/15 – Received official letter of “congratulations” from MN Board of Accountancy on passing all 4 parts of the exam. This letter is important because the MN Board will NOT process your licensure application until you have received this letter. As you can see, it nearly 2 months for me to receive this letter from the date of sitting for my exam.

2/4/15 – Received letter of “congratulations” from NASBA on passing all 4 parts of the exam. I think this is just a “bonus” letter. The letter from the State board is the one that “counts.”

Still to come:

2/27/15 – MN Board of Accountancy February board meeting is scheduled. I expect to have my application approved during this meeting, as all my application materials have been submitted and I’ve received my congratulations letter from the State Board.

Hope this is helpful to others. I will update after the 27th to confirm that my application was approved.
