CVS-NY missing request

Good day. I'm starting to get worried about my CVS-NY application. Its either CGFNS is sending the request to a wrong address, or things keep getting lost in the mail, or my school is not processing the transcript request from CGFNS, or somebody stole the money and the mail that CGFNS sent. Please keep me from being too paranoid. I sent my CVS application September 22, 2009. The request for license was received by Professional Regulation Commission here in the Philippines and was processed and the license was received by CGFNS a week ago. I called my school (both the registrar and the college) regarding the request for transcript by CGFNS and they told me that they have not received any request. I called CGFNS and they told me that they sent the request twice already. Nobody wants to help - I mean, CGFNS just says "we sent it. I cant tell you more information that that"; the school just says "we did not receive any request. sorry." What should I do?

If the last request is sent after a period of 6 months, and CGFNS did not receive anything from my school, what would they tell NY-BON?

Do correct me if Im wrong, but I feel disappointed about CGFNS service. I pay a large amount of money for the service, make sure every address every number every letter is correct in the application and when things get lost, all they could say is "we sent it. NO additional information. and you're not even supposed to be involved in this". but I SHOULD be involved in this, this is my money, my documents, my school, my license, my future. If they could just give me their word that theyd trace it (I mean they can trace the mail - tracking number, courier service, cheque number) prior to submitting their report to NY-BON, I could seat back and relax.

    Yes it is the authorization form, dont be bothered about the " school' s post office" as long as the docs is from school to cgfns process and if there's nothing wrong with the processing of your docs then i guess you should wait some more time because mine took 7 wks

    CVS takes anything from 6-8 months as a lot will depend on CGFNS sending requests out and being sent back to them, they usually wait 6 months for everything sent back and after 6 months what they have got will be passed on to NY BON and they usually sit once a month to review International applicants

    Thank you Silverdragon102

    CGFNS told me that they usually take 4 to 6 weeks to review TOR before they send report to new york education Department. But what i understood from your experience is 6 to 7 months.

    Anyway, i applied to new york education department before i started with CGFNS. I am done with child abuse and infection control too. I just hope New york education department doesn't require english proficiency test.

    thanks

    How come it takes so long for NY to send the eligibility?

    timing has a lot to do with how quickly CGFNS sends out their requests and how quickly they are returned. We have seen people post it took a few months for their school to receive anything from CGFNS. CGFNS will forward everything sooner if they receive everything in a timely manner however with what people post on here you are looking at 6-8 on average. NY meet only once a month to discuss International trained nurse applications so depending on when they received your paperwork and application

    Hi Chokyali ..

    Thank you very much for your help. Finally, my college is going to mail my TOR to CGFNS tomorrow. My only concern for now is that is there anything my college need to send to CGFNS aside from certified copy of my TOR? I heard on CES , CGFNS do send another separate form for college itself to fill and College is required to send that form too together with TOR.

    Hope to hear from you..Its kinda urgent..

    thanks a lottt...
