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???

Update: Tested on 3/15/2018 and passed in 1.5 hours with 75 questions. Offially a US RN!! Woohoo!

Congrats! just wondering how long did you have to wait to receive your eligibility letter from the board? My school is still in the process of my request for my complete clinical records and academic calendar.

I think 4 months and that's because they asked for 2 more documents like SS & name change form to my married name. Goodluck!
