I still don't understand your accounting status. What is "CPA board exam"? You are coming out with these very unusual terms and I simply cannot tell if you are a qualified accountant or not. I think you are not? Also I was asking what your job is, not your job title. What is an Accounting Manager? What does your job involve? If you are willing to put these questions to a form, you really need to explain a bit more. As it is, I am definitely leaning to what the others said, that you should not apply.

can an you explain further. What is a "licence CPA" for example? Never heard of it, what country CPA is it? What did you do in 2001 and 2004? What Is an accounting manager? Can you describe your role? What type of company did you work for? In the absence of good information, then I have to say, you should probably not risk it and let this invitation lapse.

What CPA think is irrelevant. I don't know why people even spend their money on these work experience assessments. I am not saying that OP can count the 8 years, I am trying to find out more. Part qualified accountants often do the same work as fully qualified accountants and if someone has worked in a managerial accountant position for 8 years, I think it is worth exploring more.

I don't think it is necessarily true that it is only work experience from December 2013 that counts, not for accountants, pre-qualification is sometimes counted. But OP needs to provide a bit more information - sounds like they are still not actually qualified but have just done some papers.

When did you become fully qualified? Which body are you qualified with? What type of work do you do?

I guess mothers never stop being mothers. She is not conspiring, she is trying to protect and advise her daughter.

Whilst your OH is not somebody I feel particularly endeared to (I can think of very few things lower than leaving a pregnant woman) I also think that men should not be denied access to their children because they have decided that the relationship with the mother was not working or even because they are a cheating scumbag. Nor should the children be separated from the father. Would you fight it in court if your children were going to be taken to the other side of the world against your wishes? I expect so. Would you say oh never mind I will let him take them and will buy them some presents instead of fighting for my children. I expect not. So by the same token I think there is nothing unreasonable that he decided to go to court. Just as I think there is nothing unreasonable about him deciding that he wants to live in the same part of the world as his children. I don't understand why you don't understand this and have posted as if it wrong that he chose to live near his children. I don't really understand why you are not glad that your children can maintain a closer relationshiip with their father after you have dragged them to the other side of the world. You seem to want to punish this guy and who would blame you, but this is just not the way.

Ummm is it possible that after he saw he was going to lose the court battle he decided he just needed to be on the same side of the world as his children? If he had custody and brought the children to the other side of the world, and you have a visa, then maybe you would come over as well. Just a thought.
