Not sure why you changed nursing board as would have been quicker to get ATT with the original BON. Average processing time is 4-6 months as long as you meet their requirements. Also unless your husband's visa allows you to work there is no way you can change visa to work due to retrogression

PA required the CGFNS certificate, including exam, as well as NCLEX. If I were you, I'd go through another state and endorse to PA if you want to work here.
