There are several threads discussing this issue and moving this to the advice on immigration forum which is where we are putting these threads at the moment

If you have applied for licensure in CA they are evaluating your education.

They look at your transcripts and see if your training meets the training requirements that CA schools have to follow

It doesn't matter how the cirriculum works in the Phil.If it doesn't meet their requirements you will not be approved.

It has nothing to do with citizenship.It has to do with meeting the requirements of the CA BON.They are now enforcing the guidelines for acceptance more rigorously than they have in the past.

RmCU_nA: The last time I worked as an LVN was 4 yrs ago then I decided to go in the Phils where I got my BSN. I just graduated this year in April. The job description of LVN is almost similar from RN, the only thing that are not allowed is to give IV's. BON CA received my application last june 5th, I'm still waiting for their response. It says in their website that it will take about 4-6 weeks to process the application so I have until first week of July. I am hoping to be eligible to take the nclex-rn since I have extra duty and theory hours from my LVN class. I live in LA, how about you? Email me at [email protected] so we can share more information regarding this matter.

If your batchmates applied before the April, 2010 inception date of the stricter CA BON requirement, then maybe that's why they got in? If it's after that month and year, then I would give the CA BON the names of your batchmates and how they got their ATT but you didn't, along with the schools name. I am sure they could look it up in the computers.

If I had someone I knew that got in, under the SAME EXACT classes, clinicals, school, same time you got your degree, under my situation, I would see if they might give me the slight chance that the CA BON will give a chance for the ATT.
