Help for an australian student wanting to work in the USA (MS)

Hey everyone,

I am an australis DPT student who will be graduating in june next year. I am looking to move to MS as that i where my boyfriend is based. I have been doing some searching online and i am finding the process of accreditation a bit confusing. I'm not sure where i should start. I know that my course is equivalent and so i won't need to take an make-up courses. Has anybody completed the process before? or does any have any good advice?

I know in general that i have to:
1. get A type 1 credential review from FCCPT
2. Apply to MS board for licensure
3. when approved sit NPTE
4. Also need to apply for a VISA (any advice on this would be amazing)

I'm not where to start or how to go about the process so any help would be amazing!
