Fresh PT from India on H4. How to start working in US?

[drdianapatel]

Hi
Welcome to USA!

It is a long process but if you can take 1 step at a time you can do it.
1st you have to choose any company that could evaluate your eduation equal to US PT then the evaluator will say yes or no equavlent to US PT to the board of which ever state you want to apply to say e.g. New Jersy. Then you need to apply to the board asking them to allow you to take license exam and then you take license exam if you pass you work. some times you need to take additional exams like toffel.
otherwise you are fine.
Iam working on my credits.
If you work right you should be all set in 6 months otherwise it will take even more then 1 year and less then 2 years.
All the best

ICDL is one of the company which is easy and quicker.
try applying for michigan state. they need less credits in general eduacation which is good for you other states will be high and so you will have to do some college courses to satisfy the credits. by the way may i ask you which state in india are you from.
