Hi!

I am afraid I dont know but would also be interested to know the answer too!!!

Where are you going in the USA? I am going to Florida - in fact I am doing my NCLEX next month...

Hello Sue

i am going to California .had my interview this time last year.passed nclex 2yrs ago .but still waiting.are u going on your own?

Hi Caramel,

I am going with my family - Hubby and two young boys!

Wow,2 yrs is a long time isnt it? How come its taken so long?

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.

It is depressing having to wait isnt it/ My exam is on the 5th november in Orlando - I am on holiday until the 18th november. I also have an interview on the 10th november - hopefully I will have a few more organised b4 we fly on the 27th oct!!

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
