Need Help! Fiancee Visa Question(California)

Ah yes, the local license requirement by the CABRN issue...still a confusing matter up to this day.

Sorry for the thread revive, but I can't help it because I'm in the same exact situation as the poster, except for my wife (not fiancee). Just got married a couple of weeks ago in the Philippines and am now back in the US, wondering the same exact things as the thread creator. My wife bumped into problems regarding her scrub case requirements, and she's not gonna make the deadline for registration for the NLE this November. I've started processing her visa paperworks. She'll get a visa in about 6-8 months probably, and I don't see the point in her taking the NLE next June if she's gonna be here in the US within a year.

Since getting my RN license back in November, today I still don't have a clear answer whether CABRN is really strictly requiring a local license for all non-US citizens and dual-citizens...or that it is just simply getting exagerrated by other people and that providing a sensible letter of explanation would actually suffice as the poster stated after getting in touch with CABRN himself.
