Dear GeorgeJo,
If one does not have the necessary work experience or like in my case just wants the three magic words (CPA) behind their names ASAP, then it is a good thing to apply to the IL Board before 06/30/2010 for a certificate.
In order to sign audit reports and such we will need a "permit to practice " and IL will grant it even though we did not work "under the Supervision" of a CPA.
Hope this helps.

Dear Vdesi,

Thanks for your kind reply.

I also do want to have that magic word with my name. But I had already applied to New Hampshire and I am looking forward to transfer my grades (after I pass the exam) to IL for getting the certificate. But it will not be possible for me to put in papers for IL before the deadline 6/30/2010.

I heard that Florida and Montana are also two-tier states and they may give certificates as soon as we pass the exam (Of course with a credit of 150 semester hours). Do you have any idea?

Dear GeorgeJo,
As I understand Florida is the most time consuming and difficult to get a license in. There are applicants who are residents of Florida and are complaining about this.
Besides FL requires one year of work experience under a CPA.
I will find out about Montana as I don't know.
Even if you won't qualify for the certificate from IL you can apply for permit to practice if you have enough college credits and one year year of work experience.
Hope this helps.
