Please look at the website www.cgfns.org. They have a FAQ section (frequently asked questions) and also an applicant handbook which lists all the requirements and information.

You do not need to pass NCLEX before applying, but you do need it before the VSC can be issued. You must meet all your requirements for VSC within one year of opening the application.

I think it can take a long time, so it's worth starting as long as you are confident you'll have the requirements complete within a year (it's expensive if you have to do it twice!).

There is time limit for you to complete VSC. I advice you to complete the CP first . All the best

You have one year after applying for VSC to pass the NCLEX exam and meet all the requirements. If you fail NCLEX, you can sit it again within that time period. Not sure if CGNFS use the same transcripts for VSC as for CP, you'd have to check the VSC applicant handbook.

You cannot use Nursys to verify licensure for CGFNS. There should be a form in the Visa Screen booklet which you send to NMBON for them to forward the validation of license to CGFNS.
