"While visiting the website of FACS, it says “ Copies of original records will be accepted if they are officially notarized and certified as true copies by the issuing school, a <ST1:COUNTRY-REGIoN>U.S.</ST1:COUNTRY-REGIoN> educational foundation, A U.S. Consul, AMIDEAST or a similar agency”
They need all the copies of Mark sheets, Degree certificate right from the 10th grade thru MBA. You can get them notarized from any US Notary. Typically you can find them in your Bank and most of time they do it free of cost for customers. How ever depending upon the State, you are expected to submit all your Degrees with Marks in sealed cover directly sent by your university. Or you can get the sealed covers from university and mail them to the board. I would suggest you better start working on them as well. as these are must and time consuming unless you are lucky.
"In the application form at FACS, it requires the details of the elementary school. What do I need to fill in it and currently I have with me my original mark sheet from class 10th onwards."
10th would do. Small suggestion, do not worry too much on filling the FACS application accurately. You can write a covering letter and enter all your educational qualifications (Marks not required) in a Chronologically order and request them for what purpose you need the evaluation and which state.
Other best option email/call them with your questions. They are very prompt (FACS).
"Also in the application form, they say that 1 copy of the evaluation will be sent to the board I apply and the 2nd copy will be sent to me. Does that mean, I can apply for NTS without my evaluation?"
That is correct, the Original will be sent to the State Board. You will be given a copy. First step in CPA Registration is that one has to get registered with State. The State in turn recommends you to NASBA for CPA exam etc. NASBA will not directly work with you until the time you are an eligible candidate with a State.
First thing first:
1. Identify your state.
2. Submit for Evaluation report (It takes about min of 30 days)
3. Simultaneously get the Marks and Degrees in a sealed cover from the Indian Universities (Only Degrees are required) .
Hope this helps.
