Hi,

I am very confused about the process of Credential Verification Service (CVS) for New York State.

I graduated from a nursing school in Philippines . But I have neither written the nursing board exam nor registered as a nurse anywhere in the world.

Currently, I am in New York and I need to go through the Credential verification process using the CGFNS CVS service.

However, as a part of credential verification process, CGFNS apparently requires information about my initial nursing license (which I don't have).. I am very confused at this point.. :(

How can I get through the CVS process without having initial nursing license ?

Please kindly suggest me !!!

This whole process is confusing.can anyone lay the whole entire process for me?

**Like from cgfns to nclex ? Pls include everything one needs to kno.Thank u

You don't apply for visa screen certificate until you have passed NCLEX

Im processing my license validation right now. Form i think is in the correspondence tab. Its for a foreign graduate whose carrying a license from their home country. Submit license validation forms to the license giving body in your country and they will do the rest.

If youre in the Philippines, bring the forms to the Philippine Regulations Commission. They'll assess your papers then release the validation form

Hi there,this info was really a life saver. If i may ask, after sending out the license authorization forms to your licensing authority in your country,were you notified by cgfns to send the validation forms,or you just went ahead and printed the validation forms and sent them to the appropriate offices for processing?

I hope i am making sense here.

The NY process is so different and so confusing.

Thank you.

I just printed out everything. I have a representative who does all the processing and paperworks in my home country. Just presented the printed request from cgfns. Im still waiting for the assessment to get done. They said it would take 3 working days. Then they will process the needed validation of license for NY/CGFNS.

Thank you so much for replying me.I am glad.Now i wish i had contacted someone to take me thru this whole process.

I understand everything you stated in your reply.

I'm sure what got me confused is the fact that,cgfns always sent notification that,"notary has been received,authorization form has been received,bla bla".... but they never notified me to send the "validation forms " even though its stated there that,"waiting to be received ".... so i was relaxed waiting to be notified for the validation forms.

Ok,then I'll just go ahead and print the validation forms out and send them to the appropriate offices for processing and mailing to cgfns.

I honestly wish i had gone on wth a representative.

If you have a friend who can do it for you/ former classmate or relative, you can ask them to drop it off. Its easier with a representative since they do followups and the school speeds up the processing for documents. What country did you take your bsn?

Is it possible to ask cgfns for more time in order to submit documents?

I seem to be running out of time and havnt still had one particular document from my licensing authority sent in to cgfns yet. I'm worried sick my order will be cancelled and i will have to start this whole process from scratch..

CGFNS will send everything they have after 6 months to NY who in turn will review everything and let you know what else is required and you can arrange for it to be sent straight to the BON
