Hi Sue.

i have no idea why it is going so slow.i think it might have to do with my agency.then again it might be American bureaucracy..who knows.when is your Exam? good luck i am sure you will be fine.

don't know if this is of any use. I have read online (immigration) that nursing is on a type of express event to go through the immigration process ( cannot remember the exact wording) and the process should take approx 12 months from start to finish. I know someone who passed their NCLEX in Jan 01 and was out in Colorado March 02. She was with an agency in the UK, but from what I can remember they don't have any push with the immigration service
