Longest wait from NCLEX - I-140 approval

[bettyboop]

Just wondering what is the longest anyone has had to wait for I-140 approval?

My history:

joined OGP june 2004

Job offer St Joes phoenix aug 2004

NCLEX pass march 2005

filed for I-140 may 2005

Still waiting:stone

Now I have been told it will be November at least before I travel to US:crying2:

I think I should be in the record books or is there someone out there with the same problem:imbar

I know were supposed to take processing dates with a pinch of salt but Vermont has changes now to July

Have now applied for an Arizona license and a temporary one as well, not sure why but I'm sure OGP have a good rational:confused:

the date move gives us all a bit of hope, i know we shouldnt take much notice suzanne but you just cant help it!

why have ogp made you apply for a temporary licence aswell, that seems abit strange

Have no idea why I had to apply for a temporary license as well as a full one. The agency must have a reason, the only thing I can think of is the November travel date is not set in stone.

Still waiting for I-140 this is one record I hope i dont break. Have been told it could be next year before we get out to USA, but at the moment my I-140 is taking forever.

im not convinced our receipt date is when they say it is, to be honest, especially as you passed nclex way before i did and our are stuck together, especially as others who have filed after us have recieved theirs!

[bettyboop]

like you I don't believe they filed in May when they say they did, I feel it's more like Oct-Nov they filed and thats why now there saying possibly 6 weeks to receive I-140. We will soon see when eventually the I-140 arrives.

[english_nurse]

it does make you wonder....

i wonder if the filing date will be on the I140, or if we will ever get to actually see it?

Got e-mail notification from USCIS this morning that my I140 was approved on 1st March :smiley_aa

Passed NCLEX at the end of April - my paperwork went in to Vermont in August (don't ask why), so all in all, it been a remarkably speedy process

Bring on the NVC. I suppose we could be looking at a very hot August in the Valley??

Cheers
