  9. I don't think you should submit it at all. CGFNS should be the one sending it to CTS. Send a request to CGFNS. I guessing there might be a fee to that, but I think that's the way it's done. Better...

  20. Can I Take NCLEX in Cali w Tourist Visa?

    Suppose you have your ATT and you go to the US on a tourist visa, is there a chance that you would be denied entry? On the other hand, would it be safer to not disclose the information that you're...
