CGFNS PROBLEM!!!

World Immigration

Published

Hi everybody!

im an rn from mexico actually working in the US, i have been working in this country for more thant 3 years and now im fixing my migration status in this beautiful country. i was required to get a "VISA SCREEN CERTIFICATION" from CGFNS, this is one of the requirements in the process of change in migration status . in order to do this document CGFNS ask you for numerous documents: 1-the payment in full of this order, 2- the application for this document 3- signed attestation 4-a photo of the applicant 5- your secondary school diploma(optional) 6- licence validation form(from the texas BON in my case) 7-transcript validation form(from my university where i studied nursing in mexico in my case) 8-proof of passed nclex 9- passed english score for foreign nurses.

i completed all this steps mentioned above and sent all this documents to CGFNS.

everything was accepted except the "transcript validation form from my university" CGFNS received the transcript from my university in september 15/2016 and rejected it approx, on octuber 15/2016, i called them and they told me that the reason that it was rejected was because one of the signatures was not provided, but i was sure the signature was there because i check the form before it was sent by the university and everything was there, however, once i talked to them i went back to my university and they remake the form and sent it again to CGFNS on octuber 20th approx.

They took another month approx. to review the 2nd transcript and it was rejected again on November 20th/2016. I talked with another representative from CGFNS and he told me that the first transcript they received was properly signed, that what they needed was a validation of the signature of the transcript not a new one how i was been told, i asked what does that mean, and basically they wanted to know exactly who the person that had signed the transcript was...so they instructed me to talk with the director from my university and he had to write a letter explaining who he was, his charge, tittle seals etc etc.

I was really frustrated at this point because every time i talked to CGFNS they said something different. so this letter was done by my university and sent to CGFNS and they got it on november 28th/2016. i have been calling since then and they just keep saying that they have not reviewed the letter yet and that i need to wait, every time i call them they just leave "notes" to the department in charge to review this document but nothing has been done so far.

I WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEM AND IF THERE IS A WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND IM REALLY FRUSTRATED AND TIRED OF THE SAME RESPONSES FROM THE BAD QUALIFIED PEOPLE FROM CGFNS THAT TELLS YOU WHATEVER THEY WANT TO YOU EVERY TIME YOU CALL THEM. PLEASE HELP ME! THANKS

I've been educated in an American college and they are doing this to me! It's not just y'all.

CGFNS is ruining many people's lives.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I should also start calling them often!

I just received an email from CGFNS stating the same problem. I immediately went to my University's registrar to verify if they have received a letter either by post or e-mail but they told me that they haven't received any. I contacted CGFNS through their website telling them that my school didn't get any mail and asked them what are the steps I should take to address this problem. Im really frustrated because it took them more than a month before they notified me that they have received all my requirements and now this. May I please know from anyone who has encountered the same problem how were they able to resolve it?

hello! my documents was fixed by my school.. all y have to do is to follow up your school.. my school did not gave me the verification as it was confidential..only cgfns and my school knows about it!! your school should be the one who will provide those necessary information..don't give up..just follow up your school ask them to check their email

 

Hello! I am wondering who did you contact for your school? Registrar or the program director?  CGFNs said they would email my school for verification and I try to figure out who they will contact to make sure the email won't go to junk mail.

Oh my goodness! this is the same exact problem I have. I am a Canadian and studied BSN in California as my husband is working here. I graduated in May and passed NCLEX in June and immediately applied for visa screening. I have a job ready but cannot work without visa screening certificate.  CGFNS has been telling me the same for my other transcripts from India, and I am 110% sure my school sent everything they asked because my brother was personally present there to check it was done properly. Interesting part is CGFNS cleared the documents about licensing exam clarifying forms that was done from the same school and signing authority of my school in India, which makes me wonder how can some records can be valid and some are not? I really hope some legal professional will come forward to fight for us!!

Is it still this ha4d with CGFNS ON 2022. My school is about to send the forms to CGFNS but I don't want to go through this problems if its possible.

Well said!! No further comments!

Noticed the list with more approved institutions to evaluate your credentials?

It has been 5 month I registered with CGFNS for verification and until now they have not released any report. The worst is that I cannot get them on phone. Their line is always busy.

Does anyone know how go about it?

Thank you.
