Worst CPA Horror Story I\'ve Ever Heard

    I wanted to share this story.

    My wife and I live in Saipan, a US Territory. My wife’s co-worker has passed all 4 sections but unfortunately her REG was over 18 months old and she needed to pass it again. She was scheduled to take it next month. She has a “visa” called a CW (contract worker) that makes her legal to work and live in the CNMI (3 islands including Saipan). Her CW renewal got screwed up and she was given notice to stop working immediately and return to her home country (Phillipines) within 10 days. She didn’t have to do that because she is married to another CW but she is no longer allowed to travel to Guam to take her test. She will miss this test date for REG and before she is able to travel again she will lose her other 3 sections due to the 18 month rule. She is 9.5 months pregnant as well or she would have taken her final REG exam already.

    So if you’re like me, and get bummed out about failing 1 section….there’s always a worse scenario.

    sorry to hear that. try to get in touch with the board asking for credit extension. I know someone had a medical condition and he applied for extension and they approved it.
    may be it will work out for you too.
