how long takes to get ATT from MBN?

[Sulyan]

Hi everyone.

I'm a foreign RN, who just completed all the steps in order to become an RN here in MD. I did my CES report through CGFNS. In fact I received an Email from them saying that my CES report was successfully evaluated and it was sent to MBN.

Also I submitted the following

- MBN Application for NCLEX- Criminal History Record

- Declaration of Primary State of Residence

Also I already passed the ILA-OPI evaluation. It has been a month since MBN received all my complete documentation. Unfortunately I didn't receive any letter or Email from them. I sent an Email to them asking for my situation but they didn't answer it. And they never responded the phone calls. Somebody knows how long it will take or if there is a step that I didn't complete. I read in other forums that I have to complete my registration for Nclex (Pearson Vue registration), in order to receive a ATT from MBN. Is this correct? or I should wait for any response from them? Please somebody help me this anguish is killing me:nailbiting:

Did you take the ILA OPI? Is it easy or difficult? I would like to know more about this test. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi pdarlyn1, let me tell you that if your are able to keep a fluid conversation with any English speaker,then you will pass. Of course ILA OPI is a lot of easier than TOEFL, or other test, just be self confident of your English skills, be natural when you talk and try to use some professional vocabulary. If you understand normal articles about any topic then it will be easy for you (like this thing that I'm writing now) Good luck in everything!!!!! and don't be scare remember "natural".
