Foreign Grad Waiting for Eligibility Letter

Published

Hi, I'm a BSN graduate from the Philippines Batch 2007. I recently got my green card and is now living here in California. I submitted my Initial Application for RN licensure last August 17. Check was encashed on October 12. My school already submitted all necessary requirements bcak in June. I have a proof of delivery which I also submitted to CABRN. I applied via mail. Back in 2007, I applied for NCLEX-RN and got my eligibility letter in June 2008 however, I wasn't able to take the exam because life happened!! And I didn't have any visa yet or whatsover. I regret not taking it back then because I didn't expect all these concurrency issues to happen!! :( Anyway, fast forward to today, I'm patiently waiting for any update from the board. It's been 11 weeks since they received the application. I am hoping for a positive response and I trust my school submitted all that's necessary. Anyone in the same position as I am??? Any of you waiting for your eligibility too and what's your timeline???

Oh alright!! Wowwww! That's great news!! I hope I get the same response soon. í ½í¸Š

UPDATE:

I checked my breeze account and when i clicked the "details", there i saw under deficiencies that they are requesting a transcript with a degree posted. My college school included that with all the other requirements. :(

That's weird. Call them and tell them that. Maybe they just misplaced your school's transcript.

Oh really?? I called them 3 weeks ago and they just asked for my SSN and said to wait 4 weeks more for an update. They didn't tell me yet if I have to take classes so I haven't looked into schools that offer those. But there's a lot here in this forum who were able to take up those classes so I wish you the best! Can you tell us what year did you graduate and did the board asked for your clinical cases?

Hi guys! My submission date just changed to yesterday's date 12/11 from when my check was cashed which is 10/12. Any of you know what this means? Status is still pending/open and no deficiencies.

Hi everybody! I just spoke with a Board representative and she said that I got approved on 12/11!!!! Letter of eligibility was generated yesterday and I can register on Pearson Vue now!!! Wooooohoooo. This is surreal. When everyone is discouraging me to try because of concurrency issues, I didn't give up. I hope to inspire others out there in the same situation. Time to study!!! Merry Christmas!!í ¼í¾„í ¼í¾
