Choose type 1 evaluation if you need h1 visa. It involves credit evaluation, then complete those credits.. I suggest take full plan service ..after you finish taking credits reevaluated credits.. FCCPT will send evaluated credits to Illinois dept. then apply to Illinois dept- they have their own requirement- pl see their website- then you will be granted permission to take npte...once you pass npte forward score to FCCPT. Also take toefl ( there is minimum score req see that on FCCPT website) . Then you will get type 1 certificate! Phew!
its a long process.. It tooke me 3 years... But don't get discouraged.. Hang in there..
You have choosen the right state Illinois license is easier plus lot of opportunity.
Hope this helps good luck!
