Anyone, Suzanne help got CES Report!!!!

Published

Hi guys,

Thanks so much for reading this. I got my CGFNS Credential Evaluation Report CES this morning and I need help understanding it.

It lists my academic record,

High School as having the high school diploma with a GPA of B

It recognises my degree in Behavioural Psychology as an equivalent Bachelors degree in the US.

Now my nursing it lists my nursing as Nursing 3 years of undergraduate study then goes on to list every course I did including biology classes, medical nursing, surgical nursing, child and maternal and mental health. Next to every subject it is listed as a Pass and hoew many us semester credits it equals. At the end it says......

Level of study undergraduate.......US semester credits 238.5....GPA 2.98

Thats it end of report, I sont understand does this mean I dont need to make up any hours for nursing in the usa???? I thought the point of the report was it listed specifically what you were missing for the usa so if nothing is there does that mean nothing is missing?????

Please anyone let me know before I start getting excited that I dont have hours to make up!!!!!!

This is what I have been telling you to wait for all along, instead of trying to figure out what you were going to do and when. Yo uneeded to find out what you got credit for. And you had wanted to go and retake the entire program.

It will be up to a state to decide if you meet their hours, since you want NJ, submit that with your application and let them tell you. Each state can vary slightly, go ahead and submit to NJ.

And just chill until they respond to you. No other plans in the making, wait until you get an answer from them.

LOL Cheers Suzanne always full of plans that me got to look miles ahead LOL!!!!

I am still planning on coming over to the usa on a student F1 visa as I want to do the Kaplan International nurse course for passing nclex it is 4 months long and they issue an I-20 for the student visa. We have plenty funds and will be living with my sister so no bills or stress of finding somewhere to rent.

I will submit to NJ board and see if they will allow me to sit nclex then come to the states to do the kaplan course then sit nclex and file for AOS.

Thanks for all your help along the way suzanne what would we do without you!!! Im sure I will have plenty more questions yet!!!

Hi Anna,

Cheers but we want to get to the usa asap we live 14 hour drive from london so would cost us the same to move or commute there to do the course as go to the usa to do it. They do offer the course online to so would be no need to move to do it but that is the point LOL we want to move. I want to file for green card via AOS NOT from the the UK it just takes to long. I can do it all and be in the USA with my family.

I still do not agree with what you want to do. Seriously rethink it.

Suzanne,

Sorry what do you not agree with, I got your PM about my review choices and replied is that what you mean or do you mean with me coming on a student visa?

I think she means AOS, at the moment there is no telling which countries are going to be affected by this retrogression and could have a serious impact on your process if UK is included as it doesn't matter where you file but your country of origin.

We are all desperate to go over to the US as quickly as we can but surely going through the UK process isn't going to be as bad as you think.

Ok cheers but can I ask what is Retrogression? I have not heard anything about it how does it affect us? I thought suzannes thread on it on the uk forum said not to worry about. Also if I am in usa and on student visa doesnt mean I have to leave, and if I have filled for AOS and temporary work visa even if the green card is slow coming through doesnt the temporary work visa mean I can work anyway?

Retogression basically means visas for this year are running out and won't just affect nursing but other trades. Hopefully congress will sort this out but it won't be until I believe until after the elections in november

At the moment no one knows which countries will be affected I think a lot depends on country visa demand which I think is low in the UK. When retrogression comes in things will slow down a lot and people who do AOS will be affected this may in turn affect working as no tempory work authorisation will be given.

But will this affect me if I am not filling AOS till next summer at the earliest, I will be moving and studying first.

if not filing until then why not get NCLEX sat here in the UK and you should be ready next summer to move. Have you definately found a hospital where you want to live who will petition your green card?
