PA Board has a "grandfathering" clause which allow you to sit for your PE straight after your FE if you can proof that you have applicable work experience in the USA . This clause is only applicable if you obtained your degree before a certain date from an ABET institution. Your State may have similar rules. Check out their website and read up on the Professional Engineering Act for your State. I found PA's document on their website. (PA State Board for Professional Engineers)
