Yes, it is advantageous to you if you file it early.

Re: Visascreen

Average time is only about four months for the Visa Screen Certificate, once they have received all of the required documents. I would also concentrate on preparing for the NCLRX exam. Especially while everything is fresh in your brain from CGFNS exam preparaion.

Re: Visascreen

It usually will take a few months before you will get Packet 4, after Packet 3 is submitted. You didn't list where you are living, but it takes longer for an appt in Manila because of the number of people trying to work and live in the US>

Re: Visascreen

I am an international student in USA finishing nursing (BSNA) in 2 weeks. Do I need to do the visascreen certificate or I am exempted from it.

Re: Visascreen

You are only exempt from the English exams, you must go thru the rest of the immigration procedures, you are not exempt from those.
