btw, if we pass the CG exam, and assuming CG has our IELTS results, when can we expect the CG Certificate, and the Visa Screen? again assuming CG has the Visa Screen application & fees.

You will get a letter in the mail first giving you your numerical score from CGFNS. Then you can expect the Visa Screen Certificate in approximately four months, depending on where you are, and especially if it is being sent overseas. Soemtimes, they will be sent earlier, but count on the longer time if planning anything, having to do with it.

Nothing gets done fast with them, and especially at holdiay time, plus they have snow days in Pennsylvania as well.

No different from what I have been saying the past few years here. Allow four months from the time that you get notifed that you have passed your exams.

uh oh.

I didn't get any mail from CGFNS. No ID card, no Roster Letter. Just the CG Study Guide sent from Sweden.

Now I'm worried I won't get this letter too.

Out of 20+ emails I sent, I only got 1 reply!!! And this was after 2 months!

Hmmm. So I will expect it April 2006 at the earliest. *sigh*

You are so right on this point!

My problem now is that the State Board of Nursing is asking for a Credential Evaluation, and the CG Certificate will do. How long does it take CGFNS to send it to them?

Your mail is actually from the headquarters in Pennsylvania. They just do a bulk shipment to Europe, then the mail is sent on from there.

Do you have your account number? If so, you can check your account on their site.

That is why you need to allow the four months.

Yes, I got my account number via the CG Study Guide delivery receipt. Good thing the CG people here allowed me to take the exam with that number only...I was NOT able to access the online web permit for the month prior to the exam.

A lot of people were not able to access the online web permit, but they got their Roster Letters.

I did not get any letter from CGFNS.

Regarding the online website--they have not updated it for months now.

I sent my Visa Screen application with full payment last August, but it's still not reflected in the site. I have sent around 10 emails asking if they have received my Visa Screen application and payment, but no reply.

Regarding my CP status, my Secondary School diploma says "WAITING TO BE RECEIVED" even though it's supposed to be waived--I graduated more than 10 years ago. Even my photos are "RECEIVED BUT NOT REVIEWED."

With the way things are going at CGFNS...somehow I worry that things will more often go wrong than right.

I'll be calling for their Supervisor by January if they haven't updated my Status Page by then.

Thanks for the help!

If you sent in August, and nothing posted as of yet? How did you sned it, by courier service? If so, find out when exactly it was delivered and who signed for it.

Next, I would not wait any longer, but would go ahead and phone them now. I do not rely on sending e-mails, phone calls work, and ask to speak to a supervisor. Way too long to be waiting for any updates.

I sent it via EMS... I don't know what the acronym means, but it's 1/2 the price of FedEx, and I've used it over the years with no problems.

There is one snag though--they only gave me a slip of paper with a number on it...and I think they'll only have the delivery date on file.

I'll know on Monday.

Now I'm worried!!!

I was thinking maybe they're waiting for me to pass the CP exam before they update my Status Page...

Thanks again.

Everything should have been updated already. They do not wait for the exam results, as there are two different departments.

EMS is the express mail service at your post office, it is only helpful if you have a tracking number that they can search. If not, stick to a courier service where you get docuemented proof. That is essentially just faster snail mail.

Courier service only to others that are reading. It only takes this one time to hit and snag, and it can cost you months of waiting. Not worth it in my view, I don't think yours either.

Hi!
It took EMS 4 weeks to deliver my package to the US. Not worth using as a courier service. You can't even track the package.

Hi!
It took EMS around 4 weeks to deliver my package to the US. Not very good to use them as a courier. You can't even track the package!
