Good day! I am a fresh graduate from the philippines, a non-immigrant and is currently in CA. Although I have already been petitioned by my mother (who is a green card holder) in 2009.
I came here to apply for the nlcex in CA and learned that if you do not have a social security number you are not eligable to take the NCLEX.
I decided to take the NY NCLEX instead since it does not require a social security number.
Right now, I am currently in the process of filling out my CVS for NY State and there is a portion that says "information about your professional license"
Unfortunately, I am not a holder of a philippine license since I did not take the NLE.
My question is, do i need to have a philippine license in order for my credentials to be verified? Will it take a longer time for CGFNS to verify my credentials since I am not licensed? and will it affect my chances of applying for the NCLEX in the future?
I will appreciate your help :) Thank you very much!! :)
