Approx timelines from UK to the US

ukrn2ca · Aug 19, 2006

Trying hard to work out a timeline so I can work out a realistic time for selling our house (don't want to sell too early as have 3 dogs and trouble finding renting willing to take dogs) plus giving notice at work as I have to give 3 months.
I know will only be approx but if RN's from the UK who have already arrived in the US put down their timescale plus the ones already in the process still in the UK would be a big help and may also help those beginning their process

My agency said that in a nutshell it takes about 12 months from passing N-CLEX to getting out to the USA. If you do check out the "shortage" thread (which I giggled at when I saw it) you'll see that's about right as long as there have been no unusual complications.
It's what I'm working on!

looked at that thread a lot but was trying to make it a bit easier for people to look at by just posting their time frame. without being cluttered with other info.

Mine is getting old now and all change quickley so the newer ones who are currently going through the process will be the best ones-plus they are so much more informed than I was with the immigration process.

I cant remember most of my dates but will give you a rough guide....

I started the whole procedure in September 2002, passed NCLEX Feb 2004 (after one failed attempt which I had to wait 3 months to resit and it wasnt available in the UK to sit so had to go to Orlando)

I cant remember the dates for my DS230 - I think it was around july 2005 and then medicals were August 2005 and Interview september 2005 and out in the USA on October 26th 2005.

The long gap between starting the procedure in sept 2002 and sitting the NCLEX foir the 2nd time was waiting for schools transcripts and messing around with CES and CGFNS...they really try your patience!
