help

I'm a graduate from the Philippines and is currently an immigrant in California right now. I have my application for the licensure already and will be filing it probably this week. My school will be sending my other credentials to the BON in CA. How long will it take for them to approve my application for the exam if ever I'm legit to take? will Pearsonvue help for the registration? Or is it better for me to send a check together with my application?

Enlighten me, please. Thanks
