The download version will be posted on their website. They really didn't commit on when exactly on this month will they have it available for download on their website but once they post it on their website then that version will be required for all future applicants.

All applications submitted before they post the 2007 version will be accepted by them.

CGFNS has just finished their system upgrade (Feb. 7, 2007) and as predicted they also used this to remove the 2006 versions and posted their new 2007 version for all their services.

Pls. check it out and note any changes re: their policies and requirements (if any). Thank you.

lawrence, i believe the prc and the nursing school where i attended haven't sent the forms yet to cgfns yet because i mailed it to them just 2 days ago. should i still cancel it and wait for the 2007 forms?

btw, about the ces, what if my sister who is in the us will pay for the services of cg using a credit card..how does that go? the ces application handbook includes a credit card payment form. can i use that? it includes a signature of the cardholder though. is it just better to use a bank draft rather than going with the credit card payment? muchos gracias amigo!

if you want your sister to pay for your ces using her credit card better do it online and ask your sister about her credit card details. (name on the card, acct number, security code if they ask you for it and the expiration date) my ces and vsc were applied and paid online using my mom's credit card. shes in ths us and im here in the phils.
