about FCCPT process

[cs1811]

I'm new in this forum and would like to know a few things. I do have a 4.5 yrs bachelors degree and a Masters degree in PT from India. I'm currently in Dallas, TX on a dependent visa and would like to get my credentials evaluated by FCCPT/ICDEL/etc. and then take the NPTE and apply to the TX board.

Does anyone know if I don't get approved by FCCPT, would I be able to work as a PTA? If yes, what kind of visa would I need to be able to work as a PTA? Also, would working as a PTA be sufficient or would I still need to take the extra credits (if I don't meet the credits requirements) to be able to apply for a PT license.

Any ideas?
