Re: Visa Screen Certificate / CGFNS
I am soooooooooo worried. I have not heard a thing about my visa screen yet, but all i can think about is not meeting the minimal standards. You see, i started out in the BSN program and did that for 2 years, then completed the 3rd year diploma program through direct entry and graduated from nursing. I also have a EkG diploma. I am just wondering if there may be a problem because i had gone to 2 different school in Canada. I have already passed my NCLEX. I just wonder if i am overworried. Also, i am thinking about it all the time, and just needed to vent since i have a job waiting for me.
Thanks for listenning.  | | No. 583 |

Each BON will do things there way, we have not seen anyone complain that they was unable to do things this way but there is always a first. Many other BON's have accepted doing it this way but they can decide which they will accept
This is one of the reasons why we say unless California to start directly with the state that you want to work in from the start. Ca is an exception to applying initially due to the fact they will destroy your file if you do not provide a SSN within 3 years and with retrogression you are looking at a lot longer than 3 years

Called CGFNS if they received my results from Florida BON, and they said NO.
I called BON and they said "did you mail the $25.00 that is required for us to mail the results to CGFNS". I did not know that there was a further charge for this!!!
So it has been a month with nothing done. Then they would not take my Visa number over the phone, they wanted a money order,,,which will take time thru the mail at this holiday time of year.
Sorry I am so lengthy, but after all this time, you think you are coming to an end,,,but there is always something else to think about or do.
So now,,,how do you go about getting a Social Security Number, so that I can receive my License in my hand....that I worked so hard for.
Any words of wisdom,,,for someone who is getting frustrated, as my application with CGFNS is up in March 09
Thank you so much  
Hi carlee1995, Suzanne and everybody,
How did you go about sending to FL BON the form "Request for Validation of Registration/License for VisaScreen"?
I can't find the link in the FL BON website and if you can forward me a link, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Visa Screen Certificate / CGFNS
You should be able to print the forms without having to pay again (just had a look and all you need to do is download the handbook, there is application forms there)
