Bad timing, especially when a lot of architects educated and experienced in the US do not have any work...

Have you tried applying to any of the US firms that you might be interested?  Hopefully you sent them a cover letter with better grammar than what you posted?

 

Just saying.  You will thank me later.

Stay where you are!  You'll soon have a better chance of getting work with a US Architect through the outsourcing of jobs....

  • Step 1, google "out sourcing architecture jobs"
  • Step 2, choose the first link to an archinect forum and reply regardless of the age of the post (ie 6 years)

Guys, I have a big question. How tough or easy would it be to get a license if I have a professional degree in Architecture in India, and a non professional degree in USA? Really need some help. What process would I have to go through?

Everybody wants to know what stateroom to reserve on the Titanic, but nobody is asking whether it's going to be a good voyage.  Mystifying.

Does plan approval take long in the USA?

First you'd need an American employer to jump through the hoops to sponsor you. The chances of an American firm doing this for a foreign graduate with no American experience is slim as you will be competing against foreign graduates of US universities. Say you somehow convince an American company to hire you over American citizens or foreign graduates, the most likely scenario would be working as production workhorses for minimal pay.

Hi, 

I am currently in the process of applying to New York State education department for architecture initial licensure. I know there are multiple process to this but what I want to know is once education and professional evaluation is completed and approved by the board - I would then be required to complete AXP and then ARE. My confusion and concern is here. As an international/ foreign nationality would I require sponsorship independently to complete AXP and ARE. I am totally confused and NYSED are not helpful on this. Anyone who has gone through the initial licence process (as a non USA resident/citizen) in NYS or any other States I would be extremely grateful for your guidance.

If you can't stay legally you need sponsorship. PERIOD

AXP is WORKING hours by a licensed architect.

also I've got an architecture degree from India and another non-professional one from the US. Trying to figure out how to get licensed here. Is it a tough road? What steps should I look out for? Any tips or shared experiences would be super helpful.

You need to be allowed to work in the US before thinking about all of those other things. 


As much as there are other paths to licensure, the main path is that you will have to complete the educational, AXP, and Exam requirements in order for you to be an architect. and all of those have - sub requirements on their own. Like actually working for a U.S. architect for your AXP. Having your degree evaluated. Etc. 

All of which are usually managed by NCARB. You can start going thru their website.
