@neika822–Hang in there, my friend!! If you get a chance, ring them and talk to MA licensing center since you have to make sure they have already got your CPA score and your transcripts, etc…

Good Luck!!

@Shan. Thank you very much for your reply. How long time can it take to get any reply from NASBA test center after I submit my application for CPA exam in MA? How many months in advance would you suggest me to submit this application? Did Nasba did their own evaluation for your foreign credentials or they based entirely on recommendation from CED. I am also an international candidate. I was given 41 semester hours in Accounting courses and 26 semester hours in Business courses. I assume it is sufficient to qualify for CPA exam? My goal is also to achieve non-reporting license in MA. Is it possible to use CPA after your name with this reporting license?

@IB553-

1)According to my case, it took about 2-3 weeks for me to get my notice from NASBA after I submit everything (CED and my US transcript). Each person may have different situations so the time may depends. What I suggest that, you just shoot an email to the email address I gave you and check if they have got everything they need from you or CED.

Also, you must have candidate application guides. You can go through quickly. Some information is very useful.

2) It really depends. But what I can say is, you cannot get your notice overnight…:) Since we are international candidates, I suggest, once you figure out the test window you would like to take, maybe give a couple of weeks ahead?

3)Well, I do remember that there is another organization that doing the same thing as CED. But once CED has confirmed your credits from foreign study, you should be all set. I think the test center only is in charge of reviewing US side information. Sorry, I didn't think that much when I applied. But after NASBA received my CED revaluation, they didn't reject my APP so I assumed CED's evaluation is the one for MA international candidates.

3) Sorry, I am not sure about your qualification. CED is the one that can evaluate the total of your credits here. 🙁

4) I think so…I am non-reporting and I put CPA after my name on linkedin…

I finally heard something about my application… although I'm not exactly sure what it means. This was after I emailed them a second time to ask what the next step was…

“Your CPA examination file containing your official transcripts needed for evaluation has been requested from CPA Examination Services to be sent to the licensing department for evaluation. NO ACTION NEEDED.”

So I'm thinking it's ALMOST going to be evaluated, haha.
