get that ssn ASAP , i would be at the social security office in the morning to obtain one and then notify the board ASAP , you do not want your application destroyed you worked too hard to pass that test

i just applied my application to the CA BON, i filled out all the necessary application requirements that i downloaded on the internet and sent all my documents to their office in sacramento vai DHL. i also paid all the necessary fees thru bank draft. regarding the SSN, i did not fill it up on my application. and after 3 months they gave me my eligibility letter. and i believe that they approved my application to take the exams. it was very rewarding for me to pass the exam which i took last may 28 in hongkong. i just study hard thru aswering questions on my computer. i used kaplan cd's which is very familiar on the actual exam. i just finished it on number 75. you can do it!!!! just study hard and stay focus.

If still in the Phillipines you will not get a SSN until you are in the US with a valid work visa. You will not have to retake NCLEX again but if you have not moved to the US within the next 3 years your file will expire and you need to refile with the BON.

Please take the time to read in the International forum as this question has been ansswered many times, I would also suggest reading up on retrogression as you will be currently affected by it once your I140 is approved (once you have an emplyer and I140 is filed)
