I have moved your thread to the International Forum where it is more appropriate.

One does not apply for the NCLEX exam, there actually is no way to apply for it directly. Your husband will be applying for licensure as an RN to the FL BON. They do not require the CGFNS exam, but they do require that the CES, which is a credentials eval be completed first before they will even look at his application.

It is going to take about 4 months on average to get the CES completed and then another month or so until eligibility is released by Florida.

Are you currrently in the US and with a green card? This will be the only way that he will be able to work, with the green card thru you. With any other type of visa that you could be on, he would not be able to work at this time.

He can start CES now. IELTS will depend if the state requires it, if they don't then then because he is getting GC through you he doesn't need it

Everything can be done in India before he even arrives here.
