thanks anna and starbin for replies.. hmm..things are getting complex for me i tot ny has got faster processing time. why to prefer vt or nm over ct for initial licensure--again procesing time? would cgfns+ces+ielts gives me eligibility to apply for intial licensure in these states? thanks a lot...this site is a great help. ssmathew

Hi Anna, I understand its better to register in NY than in CT.So now am taking steps to apply in NY. Thanks, SSMathew

thanks suzanne and starbin for your replies. it's a great help to streamline my actions. from your replies and info from other post, i came to the conclusion, that ny is the better place for me to register first. this is the sequence of action am planning to. 1. apply for ny-cvs. 2. register at ny bon. 3. get the att from ny-bon 4. take rn exam.(i already have ielts) 5. apply for the visa screen. 6. search for an employer and file for gc. can i initiate any of these steps parallely, or better to go sequentially as listed or in any other specific order? once again thanks, this site is of great help to people like me. ssmathew

Thanks Anna and Suzanne for prompt reply. Oh no...ok is this applicable only to CT? Can I register in NY or NJ without CGFNS?If thats the case should I re-initiate my CES specific to NY or Can I transfer the general CES to NY/NJ? BTW am already in US still need VSC?Again CES is used to issue a VSC right?(pls correct if am wrong) Hope my CES procesing wont go in vain! Thanks in Advance. SSMathew

Hi Suzanne and Other Members, I just moved in to US on H4 visa with my husband last week. As of now, my situation in summary is, 1. Compleated Bachelor's and Masters in Nursing outside India. 2. Scored 7.5 in IELTS. 3. Submitted papers to CGFNS for credential Evaluation (CE) 3 months back. 4. State of residence is Connecticut. I would like to know, what are the steps I could take to achieve RN status here. a) Can I take the RN test before receiving the Credential Evaluation Report? b) What's the difference between Visa Screen and CE report? c) Once I cleared all the exams and receive reports, how long it would take to change my H4 status. Please help with some info to take things forward from here. Thanks in Advance, SS Mathew
