actually my auncle got me a sponsor in chicago..he gave me two years to complete all the requirements..and that includes the cgfns first which is according to him is the most important but I dont know where to start.. I have no idea..I've heard that I need to take finger frint card first but how?where can i Get that?

Doesn't matter who is petitioning you for the US you are affected by retrogression and probably looking at longer than 2 years to get out there. Illinois does not need CGFNS exam only CES so all information found at http://www.cgfns.org and would recommend full course by course. All other information regarding Illinois can be found here http://www.idfpr.com/dpr/apply/forms/rn-ex.pdf. Do not do the CGFNS exam if it is not required, save your money.

CES is an evaluation of your course. All explanations can be found in that CGFNS link I posted

it says in my immigrant visa that it will expire within 5months so I will be leaving the country in 2 months time ,right after I finish the documents I need to file for my nclex.I just don't know which to file first, is it the nclex rn applicaton to the bon state or the cgfns ces?I have read some posts that it takes 3-4 months for cgfns to send the report to the bon.I'm thinking to file first for my ces while I'm still here and submit the nclex rn application forms when I'm in u.s. I'm just worried about the address ill write if I submit it here. can I just put my u.s address instead?

thanks

You can put the US address down and would definitely start CES now

would there be problem or cause confusion if I put my u.s address both in the nclex rn and ces forms when the mail is from philippines address?

All that is required is an address and many have used relative addresses hoping it would make things easier and quicker but it doesn't really make that much difference

Apart from California, it doesn't matter which state you apply to, you need to meet their requirements for foreign trained nurse and retrogression will not make any difference. Much has already been written on why we don't recommend California suggest you do a search and read the forum

Plus you are not applying for NCLEX but to be a licensed nurse in the US of which NCLEX is a part of that process
