Hello Rep. I'm glad you did received your eligibility and your interim permit already. Me. it's taking so long. When are you coming over here and what place in California are you going to work? There are a lot of Filipino nurses here in California. Most of my classmates are here also.

Suzanne was right there is really no English req'ts when you file your application to Ca BON but it is needed when you file for your visa screen and CGFNS certificate. I myself experinece that. My employer told me to retake my TOEFL exam because it was expired already when I applied for the Ca RN Exam. But I kept telling them it was not necessary because I read Suzannes post but they insist so I took it again only to find out that after I took the exam my employer emailed telling me I may not take the TOEFL again. So a lesson learn scrutinize your employer. I even have a friend who was victimized by an employer they have 3 years contract at a rate of 13 dollars hen she got here and after passing the RN exam it only went up to 19 - 23 and the minimum wage for an RN in her work is 28. The worst is they told her that her contract begun after she passed the exam and it took her a year to pass so she is spending 4 years with her agency.

thank you so much suzanne and cheyeree for your reply on my post.i do appreciate it a lot. i hope everything will be fine soon. i'm really so upset with my employer because when i'm still in the philippines i requested their office that i should be applying early for the nclex if they will assign me in their california facility but they ignored my request with no funds to sustain my nclex application i waited for their packet forms.

don't worry guys you will soon receive your packet 4 just be patient. I also went through that stage before it took me 10 weeks of waiting before I finally got my packet 4. It will come just be more patient. God bless to all of you!!!

Hello everyone. I'm also a Filipina Nurse who was petitioned by an employer and was luckily granted an immigrant visa. Now I'm already here in California (Chula Vista) waiting for my interim permit. Anyone of you on the same boat before.How long will the California Board of Nursing issue an interim permit or ATT. My application was filed September 2005 and until now I have not receive yet my ATT. My employer told me that I can't work if I don't have my interim permit and I'm already more than a month now here in US jobless. I already have my green card with me, social security number and it's upsetting that I can't start working.I highly appreciate any responses to my post.thank you
