CGFNS-CVS questions

Published

Hi everybody,

I want to ask the ff question on behalf of my cousin, She is a June 2006 Passer but because of the Issues, she surrendered her license and took the entire exam as a whole this june 2007...

To avoid wasting more time, she wants to apply for CVS because she would want to eventually work in new York.

Her questions are:

Can she start applying now or she would have to wait for the local board result?

About the application form: aside from applying online she would have to send a hard copy of the form right?

And if she paid online would she still need to fill up the payment form or she could just disregard it?

And she should sent the entire form... would be sent beck to CGFNS including the authorization for validation slips ( for the school and authorization) she would not need to give anything to her school or PRC right? since they would be the once to contact the ff authorities, right?

CAn a local notary notarize the attestation part?

And the Authorization to release Information form , what should be written at the Authorization Agent ?

I really hope you could answer my question guys... this would really help her alot?

I hope you could also share your tips and experiences when applying CVS?

THanks in advance! GOD Bless!

Anything that needs to be notarized should be done by the US Embassy. It may not get accepted if done by a local notary there.

It takes 8 months plus on average to get the CVS completed. And is your relative aware that she will not be able to get petitioned in a hospital in NY but will be working in a nursing home there with 30 to 60 patients that she is responsible for.

I never recommend the on-line applications, one mistake and it can take for ever to correct. You cannot go back and correct anything once it is sent.

There should be no one that she is giving permission to access her records to, there is no reason for it. She is paying for it and she should be in control of it.

There are already multiple threads on the specifics about that form. Please just do a search.

Thanks Suzanne, I think she's aware of those things but thanks for the heads up anyways.

So I was wondering can she start applying now even if the results are not yet out?

Thanks!

Yes, she can apply now. But she will be taking a gamble. In the outside chance that she does not get a passing score on the NLE retake, then she will not be able to get the CVS completed, and she will not get a refund on her money.

Because of the expense of the CVS, I would recommend that she wait the few more weeks to be sure.

Thanks alot suzanne! As always you have been of great help... I'll tell her to wait for just a few more weeks! $325 is big amount of money to gamble.

I really hope we pass the NLE for the second time around!

Thank You so much!

You are quite welcome.:balloons:

It is alot of money, so that is reason for telling her to wait. Best of luck with the results.

Hi everybody!

I have another question about the CVS form... ON number 11 item,

(Check the answer)

a. I was never registered/licensed outside the United States

b. My diploma serves as my license/registration

c. I am/was licensed/registered outside the United States

d. My license/registration has been suspended, revoked or restricted.

My cousin doesn't know what to answer, being a june 2006 seems to complicate things a bit since we surrendered our license the PRC informed us that all our records will be erased and as if we started our application for exam for the first time.

So can she just check letter A? Should she attach a letter? Explaining our situation? or not needed anymore...

My cousin wants to get started with the application as soon as possible.

I hope you could enlighten us!

thank you so much!

In the PRCs eyes they may consider her as taking the exam for the first time, but in the eyes of the US she has taken that exam before. Remember that her name showed up on the passing list from last year, they publish all of the names. And we all have them over here.

I would use A, but put a note with it that she was a June 2006 passer and they will understand.

Same thing; you always want to make sure that all information matches. If not, then that causes delays.
