( I contacted my school leader three time for (1) initial documents submitted (2) no valid signature (3) again no valid signatures ?)

1. Were you able to sort this signature issue? If not, I had this issue in 2019 where there was a change of personnel at the school who signs the CGFNS paperworks. The school just need to contact CGFNS themselves to communicate that there is a new person in charged of signing those forms.

2. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut with CGFNS. After your paperworks show Ready for review and no pending issues, CGFNS will email you for expedited review for $$$ but I didn't apply for that. (My certificate was released within days).

Hi I am really sorry to jump on this post.

I am a UK trained nurse and I have had so many similar issues OP - my Uni sent my transcripts x3 and they kept getting "lost" this ate up at least 5 months of my time!

My question is my CGFNS dashboard now shows "ready for review". Do I need to do anything else? Or do they now just add me to a queue for my file to be "reviewed". I was really thinking of paying the expedited fee but not sure if this is the stage where I purchase.

Any help would be much appreciated

That is good, so they all have the requirements they needed and you'll eventually receive an email for expedited review. I don't know the turn over of the certificates right now - Visa Screen vs. CES. But even expediting the CES will not push through if you're lacking documents so possible delay.

Hi all

I got an email overnight last night telling me my status had changed to "ready for submission" when I went onto my profile tonight after work, my status says "waiting for required items". It is regarding my university transcripts and states the following

"An International Credential Evaluator has evaluated your credential and has deemed this credential received and not accepted. The International Credential Evaluator has communicated to the applicant why this credential was not accepted. Please refer to notes on the credential or any custom correspondence that has been sent to the applicant."

I haven't received any correspondence telling me what's wrong with it. Am I just being impatient? Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Many thanks

Yeah they contacted my Uni as needed further breakdown about areas in each category. My university sent them in a letter the information requested so just waiting to hear back

hello nurses! it's 2024, any update regarding the CGFNS order status that changed from "Ready for Review" to "Waiting for Additional Requirements" again? The note below is what it says in my Transcript Validation Form. Thank you for your help.

"An International Credential Evaluator has evaluated your credential and has deemed this credential received and not accepted. The International Credential Evaluator has communicated to the applicant why this credential was not accepted. Please refer to notes on the credential or any custom correspondence that has been sent to the applicant.“

Did you check "My Messages"?

Yes and they did not mention what needs to be done. I only received an email about the change of status excluding the reason. Should I wait for weeks? Because I already contacted my College and they did not received anything from CGFNS also.

My experience w CGFNS is not to wait. You can CGFNS "Contact us" & inquire the reasoning behind such unacceptance. It will take some time for response but at least you did.
