How long will the BRN-CA process the validation of NCLEX exam for ICHP?

good day! i was just wondering how long for the BRN-CA to process the validation of passing of NCLEX exam to be submitted to ICHP? i have sent my application for validation of test to the BRN-CA last October 2, 2008, and until now the Visa SCreen is still waiting for the validated passing test of my NCLEX. i have sent the bank draft of $60 incuding the form they have to fill up.. i have tried sending them email as well, whether they have received my application [via FedEX], but still no response. is it possible they have lost it? does that mean i have to resend another form and money? gawd!

Did you actually track it to see if it was received in the first place? You should have a tracking number with the FedEX receipt to be able to see where it is. How long ago did you send your application to CGFNS?

You need to be aware that just because CA receives something on a certain day, it is not responded to or even looked at immediately. They always state to allow two weeks for it to be reviewed there.

CGFNS states to allow two weeks for them to update their site from the time that they receive something as well. And then you need to add in the mail time as well.

Usual rule of thumb is that it takes about 4 months to receive the VSC and this is what you should rely on especially since you went thru CA and did not have the CES report prepared before. When you have used other services of CGFNS, then the wait is faster as they have already reviewed everything. And CGFNS roughly figure things from the time that they receive something, not from when it is sent out to them.

hi Suzzane! thank you for the response.. yes i did track it already.. even the FedEx called up on me that the mail has been received.

as for the Visa Screen application, I have sent mine Since August 2008. all that's left for the application to be completed was the validation of NCLEX exam. i don't really know i should applied for CES too, hence, i go straight to the visascreen application.

again, thank you for clearing things up. :)

Sorry, getting you mixed up with someone else for a minute.

It is not a priority of CA BRN to get the verifications out immediately, it can be weeks and take up to two months as well. I would give them at least two months and then you can contact them again for follow-up. If not added to your account, then place a tracer on the money order to see if it was cashed or you should be able to get those funds back again.

Thank you again Ms. Suzanne.. The ICHP just notified me that they have already received my NCLEX validation. Thank you so very much again for relieving the anxiety off me. This site totally helps.. =))
