Endorsement Delay?

Is anyone having a problem getting their license endorsed from another state to CA? I submitted my application 4 weeks ago, and included a request for a temporary license, and nothing has happened. I thought perhaps it was because of a past conviction (sent all required documents, man CA is a BEAST when it comes to paperwork even without one!). I called the board (miraculously got through) and it hasn't even begun to be processed; they haven't even cashed my check! I'm wondering if this is just because it's graduation season? Should I just hold off a little longer, keep bugging them, or start to worry my paperwork is all lost somewhere?

My NY endorsement took 8 weeks, but that wasn't for a temporary...

The CA BRN is very slow...4 weeks is nothing, especially for an applicant with a criminal history. Also, remember that it is May, so all BONs are flooded with new grad applications.

That being said, I'd bug them just to see if they have everything they need from you. Not daily or weekly, but maybe every few weeks.

10 weeks (and many missed good travel contracts) later I officially as of yesterday am licensed in California. Sadly, without even any additional information needed from me! They are just THAT slow. Hopefully it wasn't this lengthy for anyone else recently.

Took my friend 4 months to get authorization to take the nclex.

The same thing just happened to me! I waited soooo long and I just got licensed today. I submitted my paperwork the 1st week of may and on July 2 was told I was in enforcement and to expect a 3 week delay. That wasn't the case, it only took 3 days. I thought this day would never come
