Passed CA NCLEX 2008, just got SSN this 2012, applied for CA-RN license

Published

Hi to all! I passed the nclex last 2008. I just got my SSN last month as an employer based immigrant. Just a week ago, I submitted my Completed Application for Licensure by Examination including a U.S. social security number as instructed by the CA BON. My school also forwarded the needed documents.

My questions are:

Has someone gone through the same thing as I am?

What happened?

Did they release your license or not?

If yes: How long did you wait for your license?

If not: What did they say? Can you send me a copy? Did they make you do further studies?

--As i have said, I am on employment based petition, so with this, my employer is waiting for my license. With this, my life is on hold. I hope to be enlightened with this. Thank you so much.

Because you can not work on a H4 I think you will find it impossible to get a US SSN until you have either PR or a work visa in your own rights.

hi, i just got my ssn too and passed the nclex exam last 2008.we called the ca bon last week regarding this and they said i have to complete the Application of licensure by examination as well. they say they will send me a packet together with the fingerprint card, my question is can i proceed the application just by downloading the forms in their website, without waiting for the packet that they send? how bout the fingerprint card? i cant do the live scan since i am currently in new jersey. so i have no other option but the card. i just want to file it asap, i cant stand anymore delays.if anyone who can enlighten me on this. that would be so helpful. thanks

Go ahead and download but you need to wait for the finger prints card anws. it takes around 13 to 15 days after you request them. i did the same and currently waiting for them
