Yes you have to request from ICHP to forward their evaluation of your school credentials directly to them as mentioned in their application packet:

"If you have already completed the credentials evaluation process through ICHP you may have them send certified copies of the

documents directly to us instead."

In my case, my credentials were evaluated for Visa Screen Certificate purposes, VT state board said it's ok. I can just request from ICHP to send them their evaluation.

[mabellegamino]

thanks jbc when will you start applying for a vermont license ? mine will expire july 2009 im planning to apply by d end of april since the CAL.BON ais not responding to my extension request.

[mabellegamino]

i also have a visa screen certificate . did you read from the previous thread that they only submitted a xerox copy of the cgfns certificate . how much is the fee that you paid to ICHP?

[jbc76]

Mine will end in April 2010, but I'm getting myself prepared for the transfer of result to VT. I'll probably do that Nov-Dec this year then I'll try and exhaust all my effort to extend my CA application hehe I don't actually see the point anymore, just want to try extending.

[jbc76]

Apparently, the VT State board has made some changes to their requirements. Try to check their latest application form for Graduates of International Nursing Schools - International Nurse NCLEX Pass Endorsement Application this was just approved 2/20/09.

You really have to request ICHP to send the documents directly to the VT state board. I checked with CGFNS, the fees range from $50-$75 for that service depends on which documents you want to have sent.

how much is the fee if ICHP will send vermont a copy of your credential evaluation?

[mabellegamino]

OMG it means i have to start now.

[jbc76]

If I were you I'd start preparing for the required documents because it may take some time. You also have to give some allowance of time for them to process your application; you might encounter some problems along the way.

Anyway, just make sure that your nclex result should have been forwarded to VT state board before time runs out :wink2:

You better start reading their application packet because they have more requirements now at least you still have time to prepare :wink2:

thanks vbc

[mabellegamino]

remember any documents involving education assessment required have to come from the original body providing the service. ie CES report must be sent direct from CGFNS.
