Hi Noman,
Thanks for your e-mail. I have sent you this response through e-mail. For the benefit of other readers, I am updating it here too.
It is really nice to hear that you are interested in CPA exam. It is also very nice that you have a valid US visa that will help you travelling to US. Please note that the requirements of Michigan are tougher than Delaware State Board of Accountancy. Michigan State allows you to write CPA exam without complying 150 credit hours. However, you have to complete educational requirements no later than 30 calendar days after the actual date the candidate took the first exam section. Being a CMA from Pakistan, I think it is not a good choice.
Delaware is still a two tier State which is a favorite State for Pakistani accountants. It requires an associate or Baccalaureate or Graduate with 21 semester hours of accounting, auditing or federal taxation. US Taxation course is a must requirement. They also require 1 year public accounting experience for certification.
In your case, you will have to meet the requirements of Delaware State that can allow you to write CPA exam. You will not be allowed any credit hour for APA. You just canât double dip the popcycle. You even will not be allowed for any credits in CMA which you got exempted on the basis of B.Com. Once you complete your CMA from Pakistan get a certificate from HEC of Pakistan and send your documents for evaluation to FACS. The link of the evaluator is http//www.facsusa.com/. Meanwhile, you should complete your US taxation course which is available online.
I hope you will be eligible for writing your CPA exam from Delaware State. Please also note that you should also get 1 year public accounting experience too (If I am not wrong).
Regards,
