It is very easy to endorse to almost any other state in the US, after you have a license. California actually even permits a walk thru in the BRN office in Sacremento.

What type of visa will you be on?-

What type of Visa specifically? Will you be able to work with that? Are you referring to a fiancee visa?

I've heard CA is actually easier than some of the other states. TX, I know, has greater language requirements than CA -- many of our immigrant nurses here in my state got their CA, then endorsed to TX, so as to not have to take an additional language test by the TX boards when applying for initial licensure as an immigrant.
