Physiotherapist Registration To Work in Australia

Hello!

I received my Doctor in Physical Therapy from the US and moved to Australia in March 2018. I applied for the Equivalence pathway through the APC as my program met all their needs. Initially they said they needed 6-8 weeks which turned into 18 weeks. Then they came back asking for clarifications/summaries of each section I provided and had me pay the additional AUD 550 since it was "new material" To be honest there no new word everything was re-arranged and re-organized.

Anyway long story short 9 months in Im still waiting for their response. I was wondering if Im able to apply for limited registration in the mean time? Does anyone have an experience with this
