yes you just need to make sure the board notifies CGFNS that you passed NCLEX which usually means a small fee to BON and completing a form on the BON

One month if out of the US on average, and you will not receive a license until you are physically in the US on a legal visa that will permit you to work. And for RNs, that is the green card only. That is the only way that you can get a SSN#.
