Texas Board of Professional Engineers (TBPE) awards 3 years temporary PE license to qualified NAFTA (Canada & Mexico) and South Korean engineers (minimum 7 or 8 years of experience is required after getting professional engineer license in respective countries) and the engineers must pass 8 hr PE exam to practice in TX after 3 years.
I mailed my application to TBPE on 12th or 13th June 2017 by priority mail and TBPE entered my application into their system on June 21 sending me an auto-generated email saying that they will first make an administrative review (by admin staff) that will determine whether I submitted all the required papers and documents and then a technical review (by a technical person i.e., a PE) on my application package.
TBPE started admin review on July 19 telling me mainly that they need my transcripts and a few other papers and finished their administrative review on August 3 meaning they received all the required papers to start evaluation of my application. TBPE finished "technical review" at the soonest and informed me on August 4 that my application will be circulated to "Engineer Board members for the evaluation of your credentials" without giving me any date when it will be circulated to engineer board members.
I contacted TBPE 4 times till today to know when (approximate time line) TBPE will be able to finish their evaluation of my credentials and 3 times TBPE said basically 'they don't know' and once TBPE said 'couple of months' without saying how many months or weeks.
My question for the forum is, according to your experience, on average how many weeks does TBPE i.e., TBPE's engineer board members take to complete evaluation of an application for a PE license?
Can anybody answer this question? I appreciate your response.
