Expecting RN

by hotfil

Hi. I'm new to this. I have a question. I just took the nclex exam last november 19. My eligibility is from california but i'm a foreign graduate without an ssn #. When is the realistic time should i expect to get my results coz the wait is kinda excruciating. Thanks so much.

Welcome to the site and forum

You are looking at anything from 4-6 ish weeks to get your results due to you not having SSN. There are issues with Ca and suggest a good read on this forum especially the sticky California for initial licensure. I would also suggest reading up on Retrogression and current immigration issues as you are affected and probably looking at several years before, if lucky, getting a visa for the US due to the high demand from your country

Good luck

It is a well known fact that you never get your results before 4 weeks at the earliest and then you do not get a license issued either.

With things the way that they are with immigration, there are other issues that you are going to need to concern yourself with.
