scottish surveyor who would like to live and work in USA 

My family and I are currently looking to make a lifestill change by moving to the US from Scotland in the UK.

I am trying to find out how I go about becoming a registered surveyor or if I need to be registered to get employment.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

I have been working as a surveyor for 18 years and have a Higher National Certificate in Topographic Surveys.
