immediate attention pls about visa screen

hi

I am sure that you only take the nclex once if you have passed. I think you can start visa screen process off and request from your BON that they send your NCLEX result to CGFNS. Visa screen can take up to 4 months to do.

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong

The Visa screen and NCLEX are 2 different things. The NCLEX is the National Board. once you write it and pass, the State that you receive your liscence from has it on file that you passed the NCLEX every time you have to verify your liscence to some one.

The Visa Screen is Separate, from a separate company, costs additional money and for everyone trained outside the US (I know, I am currently going through this). You apply for this separately, and they will ask you to mail a paper to the State where you received your liscence originally. The state will mail it to CGFNS and this will tell them that you have Passed the NCLEX. From there, they will evaluate you, along with your other documents and mail you a Visa Screen Certificate.

hope this helps
