Hi! Good evening everyone. I arrived in US last October 2015 and applied to WA DOH Nursing license. I paid my CGFNS last November 2015 then asked my brother to fix my documents in the Philippines but unfortunately he didn't do it right so I resend all my documents again and asked my friend to process it. Fortunately, all the documents was sent by January 2016 then they send again a letter stating they need RLE. I gave it again and they gave the receipt last Monday April 11, 2016. When I checked for the past few days. It states waiting for approval. My problem is, Is that means they need requirements again? How many months am I going to wait before I will have my ATT? I am frightened maybe the WA BON will close my file. Thanks for your help in advance.

Average processing times for CGFNS is 4 months for CES then report sent to BON and then usually takes another 1-2 months to get approval from BON and you then register with Pearsonvue who will send ATT once they get approval from BON

Hi! I also applied to WA BON, Silverdragon is right. If you happen to receive an email from WA BON, then just tell them what you accomplished and somehow that will let them know that you're on it. Once you met all the requirements set by WA BON, you'll get an email from them with your eligibility.

Hi fellow filipina! I just saw your response like after 2 months. I already got my ATT and preparing for my NCLEX-RN exam. Did you already take your exam..? If you don't mind sharing your insights and views... I'm taking my exam on July. How about you?
