Hi there.. I hope someone could enlighten me with this..
I recently passed the NCLEX RN CA and will be taking the IELTS real soon. I'm in the Philippines and I don't have an SSN. Thus, I was informed that they cannot issue me my license. Add to that, they would destroy my file 3 years without their receipt of my SSN.
I don't have any idea on what to do next. How do I get this SSN? Am aware that they cannot issue me SSN since I'm not a US citizen nor have I ways to go there. Should I just find an agency to do all the works for me or should I apply for my visa screen? Cause I was thinking of applying for my visa screen first before I find my agency plus I will be starting work only only next month.
Can someone tell me the process of how to get a visa screen? The steps and who to contact, through the internet perhaps. I really have no idea how to do it.
Another thing is my family's suggesting to transfer my license to another state..Again, how do I go about it? Is my license needed before I can apply for reciprocity..I was thinking maybe NY, Florida or Chicago.
I'm sorry I have too many questions..I hope many could reply to my queries. Thanks in advance
hi, im from the philippines, my husband and i passed the ca nclex-rn last december and now we are here in california. we already talked to an employer and is asking us if we already have license. we said we already passed the nclex and license will be given once we are able to present an ssn.
we also went to SSA and is applying for a SSn and presented the letter we received from BON... the officer said that that we should be staying in us for 2 weeks before we can be issued a number so we'll be back on monday. the ssn that will be given is not for work.
my question is what are our chances of getting a ssn?
also is there anyway that our petition be filed even if we still don't have the license yet and just have the letter from BON saying that we passed nclex-rn?

Do you have a work visa? I don't think you have and without proof that you are in the US with a valid work visa then I doubt you will get a SSN. You also can not AOS so plan on returning home whilst waiting for a visa and expect to be affected by retrogression and a very long wait
i want to ask few questions from u guys.............
im on H4 visa status living in Bellevue Washington, with my husband he has H1B visa and working at microsoft.
i have already passed nclex RN exam from california board but still not able to do job because i dont have SSN and because of H4 visa im not entitled to do job/work.california board will send my liscense when i will provide them my SSN.
i do have one option that i should apply for job in any hospital which can sponsor me for H1B visa but i dont know which hospital sponsor nurses for H1.
can any one tell me which hospital sponsor nurses for H1 visa in seattle/bellevue/redmond?
I too am a California NCLEX passer without an SSN. My questions are:
1. What states would issue a license without SSN? I only know of VT and NM, but are there others?
2. I'm interested to obtain a license in NY. Does NY require SSN before they issue a license?
3. If No, how do I got about applying for licensure? I understand I would have to ask California BRN to forward my NCLEX results, but is that all I have to do? This is what's written in the NY app packet, and my understanding is that I'll just have to ask CA BRN to forward my credentials.
VERIFYING YOUR APPLICATION CREDENTIALS
To ensure authenticity of credentials, the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions requires evidence of your compliance with each licensure requirement directly from the organization where you met the requirement (e.g., school, testing agency, licensing authority, certifying board, hospital, employer, etc.). These records and documents must bear an original (not photocopied) signature of the official who maintains the records and stamp or seal of the institution where the credentials are maintained.
Does this mean I would ask CA BRN to forward my results as well as my other requirements (like transcripts, etc.)? Do I need to take CGFNS or no need, since I already passed NCLEX and the rest of my credentials will be forwarded?
4. Lastly, if I ask CA to forward my credentials to NY, will I lose my application in CA?

For NY you would have to complete CVS and this is regardless on whether you have passed NCLEX in another state. Ca will not forward your transcripts you have to complete the paperwork on the CGFNS website and make payment and they will write to the relevant places you received your education and request new copies of transcripts etc. You will also have to submit an application to NY BON and for most sit 2 online courses. Ca will destroy your application after 3 years if you do not provide them with a SSN or ask for a extension. More and more states are now not issuing a license without a SSN however they will not destroy your file like CA does so once you are in the US and have a valid work/immigrant visa and apply for a SSN you can sort out a license with the BON/BRN
hi im also a ca nlcex passer w/o ssn, but my friends here in ca. told me that if I submit an Itin to the BRN they will issue our permanent license..I haven't tried it yet, does any one know if this is true? thanks!
you mean if you have a pending petition you can renew your license even without ssn? i also passed the ca-nclex, and im having trouble of getting my license, somebody told me i should get an itin and thats enough to get my permanent license
