Hi Noman,
I have already responded to you via e-mail. However, I want to update this thread for the benefit of other students. California State Board is one of the most stringent states. It allows candidates to write CPA exam but you won't be able to get your license until you complete 150 credit hours requirement. Please note that "Resident" does not mean resident of US, but resident of the state. You might be resident of US without being citizen of the USA. It is one tier state. California State requires a Social Security Number to issue a license.
In addition to that California requires you to pass a very detailed Ethics exam. Ethic exam is compulsory in all states but its exam is most difficult. It does not accept Ethics exam conducted by AICPA. It has its own exam.
Thanks,
