I'm a fellow ACCA in US studying for my CPA too. I registered with Montana board - it requires you to have minimum 120 credits to sit for the exam, and 150credits for licensing. Would suggest you to get started with the exams now - and during your preparation time you can dabble your way into getting the remaining credits for getting your license.
