The same question is asked time and time again. If you don't provide a ss# within 3 years California will toss your file. I've heard that you can request an extension but there's no guarantee that California will extend your file. There's a lot about California written, at the top of the forum you will find stickies, it's best to read up on them because they will answer your questions. You might also want to get in contact with the CA BRN because they can help you even further. Good Luck

If you do a search on here you will find your answers. There are many topics about this particular situation. I've heard that Vermont doesn't require a social security number for licensure, but you do need a social security and a valid visa in order to work in the US. Go to Vermonts BRN website and see what their requirements are. Good Luck

California isn't endorsing a license, all they're doing is sending your NCLEX results to Vermont. You don't need a ss# to apply for licensure. Whether Vermont will release a hard copy or not I'm not sure. That's why I provided the link to the two boards of nursing so you can read up on international applicants. If you also do a search on here regarding Vermont and California you will find plenty of information that will be helpful. Stop relying on others to do your homework for you. Good Luck

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Why is it important to get a license? There are several states now that require SSN before releasing a license however there is currently only Ca that destroys your file, unless you ask for a extension or submit a SSN. For immigration you only need a pass in NCLEX or CGFNS exam you do not need a license and once in the US with a valid immigrant/work visa you can easily sort out a license once you have a SSN

You need to get your NCLEX results transferred to another state (by application) before your file is destroyed (unless you have asked for and granted a extension) if your file is destroyed then your NCLEX results are destroyed. Once you have a valid work/immigrant visa and SSN you can easily sort things out with Ca although may need to resend your application with them

Nobody said the process was going to be easy. If you don't already have a visa in process, then the process is going to be a longgggg wait and not to mention the chances of getting one are slim to none. If California destroys your file and you never made the move to the next state then you have to start the process all over again. Make sure you have all your ducks in a row before moving forward Good Luck
