Mr. Shah, First, the United States is a unique country when it comes to
licensure for practice in both the legal and medical professions.  Each
state has its own licensing processes and procedures.  

Second, are you currently in the United States or planning to visit or
relocate here sometime soon?  You can't accomplish much of anything outside
the country when it comes to being admitted to the Bar.  

Third, have you had any professional practice credentials under your belt
Some states require this.

Lastly, your transcripts from your previous college will need to be
evaluated by an evaluation service and results obtained sent to the bar
association in the state of your choice.  For this purpose, your college
must be prepared to SEND YOUR TRANSCRIPTS directly to the evaluation service
utilized by the state of your choice.  Some states will only accept
transcription evaluations from WES--World Education Services, some others
allow you to choose from amongst three.  Additionally, you may be required
to take a certain number of courses for purposes of ensuring that you are
well-grounded with regards to your understanding of the American legal
system.  These courses may have to be taken in an ABA-approved U.S. college
(university) otherwise satisfying the requirements for licensure as a
foreign graduate lawyer seeking bar admission in a U.S. state could be
tough.

 Visiting the website for the bar association in your chosen state is a
great idea because 100% of the information you're seeking will be there for
your perusal.  Good luck with the decision-making process, all the best!

Sincerely,
Olusegun
