Hi,

I am wondering when I can take the fingerprint (livescan).  Do I need to wait until Offical score is posted or can I go to the livescan with preliminary score?  Or, can I do even earlier?

Thanks

11/6/08 - completed 4th exam

11/17/08 - completed Ethics exam

11/18/08 - Found out all exams have been passed

12/7/08 - Livescan completed

1/1/09 - 4/15/09 - Tax Season. Too busy.

4/22/09 - Submitted Application. Boss sent in experience papers.

4/28/09 - Initial application fee for $250 cashed.

5/6/09 - Received card that Application Received

5/8/09 - Received Notice that Application is Completed

5/14/09 - Received Congrats Letter from Board

5/15/09 - Sent in White/Green Cards

5/21/09 - Name shows up on license lookup.

5/22/09 - Receive white card with license number.

5/22/09 - Initial license fee $100 cashed.

5/27/09 - Mail lady arrives with wall certificate.

That's so far. I'm impressed at how diligent/efficient the Board has gotten compared to some of the other stories I've heard.

Can someone please advice me?

After reading the requirements from the CA board, it seems that attest experience- public accounting is needed.  Does that mean only auditing experience will satisfy the requirements? 

I know people that go into tax or industry.  Would those experience count? 

I am currently unemployed and trying to find a job.  I need to know what I should be looking for. 

Thanks in advance.
