NCLEX in Saipan

kathykaye · Feb 2, 2007

if you first schedule an appointment to saipan or any US territories then you've changed your mind to take it in HK instead, you need to pay for additional $150.

if you first schedule an appointment to HK then you've change your mind to take it in any US territories (saipan, guam etc), you wont recieve any refund for that...

the $50 that lawrence mentioned is when you change BON.

All non-US testing centers will charge an additional $150 as an "Int'l fee" w/c is in addition to the $200 registration fee.

Note that the extra $150 "Int'l fee" is not automatically charged when an appointment has not been made. Example, once you registered to pearsonvue on-line you will be charged the $200 and you will be prompted to choose a testing center location. You will then able to see all slots for that testing center location and it is on real-time, meaning it changes (opens and closes) as it is made available or reserved. To be able to reserve a slot and make an appointment for non-US testing centers an applicant has to call up a certain number to do so and request the operator to make an appointment for a particular date - this is only when that the $150 is charged to you (by giving them a credit card number). As long as you don't call them up and make that reservation then you are not charged the $150 and you can change your testing center.

Making an appointment would be via phone and there seems to be no toll-free number posted anymore on their website for the Asia-Pacific region unlike a year ago when there was even a dedicated toll-free number esp. for calls coming from the Philippines.

Some nurses claim that the toll-free number still works even though it is not posted anymore.

Try canvassing 1st for other travel agencies that do or go direct to Continental airlines.

You can request one on this website http://www.cnmiago.gov.mp and follow the instructions.

Oops, I was referring to change of Board of Nursing and not change in test centers. Sorry for the mix-up.

Yah that almost confused me because we have the same case, also have a problem in having a visa or VEP for guam and saipan

mtjmnov · Feb 9, 2007

Hi, is there really a fee for the VEP, I chanced to call at a travel agency and the person told me that I will pay 1,900+ for the VEP

lawrence01 · Feb 9, 2007

Actually, no. You can do it on your own if you want by going to the website I provided above. Just click immigration services.

That fee he quoted maybe just for their troubles of doing it for you.

I say it's fair enough. Some do it for no extra cost, though.

Thank you Lawrence, it's a big help. My husband and my daughter will accompany me, that's why I am looking for the cheapest package and ways to lessen the wreckage of my husband's pocket

msdreamchaser · Feb 9, 2007

most of the agency asks for a fee for vep process but its easier and cheaper if you'll do it yourself...

mtjmnov · Feb 9, 2007

Thank you ^same^, yeah, I will do it myself. I have time because my exam is in April
