California: just submitted SSN

Hi everyone!

I only have one question: how long does it take for CA-BRN to issue an applicant his/her physical license? I already passed my NCLEX-RN in the Philippines before, but since I do not have any SSN, I was not issued anything at that time. But since I came here July 26, 2011, on a CR1 visa, which is conditional permanent license and was issued SSN a week after I came here. I submitted all the required documentation, even the finger printing last Aug 17 but I have not heard from them ever since. I was checking their website, hoping to see my name on the permanent license verification.

I hope someone can enlighten me or even give a rough estimate of the time frame for them to put my name on their permanent license verification and/or issue a physical license?

Can take anything from 3 days to 6 weeks but may be worth chasing up now by ringing the BRN

Thanks Silverdragon. ;)

How about applying for reciprocity from Ca to WA? How long will that take?

Depends on requirements of WA. If CES is required you are looking at a few months
