Nursedandy, I'm happy to inform you that I got my renewal visascreen certificate last May 20, 2009. Saipan is just slow but they'll get it done. Anyways, my reinstated Saipan RN license though is renewable in 1 year. They issued me a 2 year then I got an email from them that they made a mistake so they issued me a new one, which expires after a year, so I need to renew it again next year? My initial RN license way back in September 2002 had a 2-year validity. Any ideas? I emailed to question them but they did not answer back.

i called last monday using the number you gave and cbne answered my call. my request ( verification for vsc)had already been processed and ready to be mailed. thanks a lot, nursedandy.

Send it to their regular mailing address PO Box 501458 Saipan MP 96950.

Maybe so, the exact number i got from a website was (670)234-8950 through 8954 but no extension was mentioned. So, I will try again this time and ask for the extension you gave. Thanks nursedandy.

Just be aware that as Suzanne was saying there are no visas available now. May 2009 visa bulletin shows unavailabe visas for employment based 3rd category. It was March 1, 2003 in April visa bulletin. This is for both consular processing ( applicants still in their home country) and for adjustment applicants ( already in the US). It is very very slow. It's going one step forward, four steps backward. You are looking at 5 or more so years. In the meantime, get some more nursing experience. Good luck to all.

i tried that main number before ( i got it from a website with list of bons), i think it was the hospital according to the one who answered. i asked for the cbone then it got cut off. when i tried calling again, they won't answer anymore. this time i'll try to ask for that extension. thanks.

It's the same calling/business card like license in Texas.

I did not know of the requirements beforehand but I sent my brother a copy of my expired license. If her license is expired, PRC might require her to reinstate so I did just that. So, tell you mom's friend to send pictures, too (passport size)for the reinstatement plus the authorization letter that you will transact it for her.

Hi nursedandy, Any news re: Saipan BON? Are they back in full operation? Thanks.

I read the Saipan Tribune with the link you provided. I hope they will be back in full operation as stated on this second week of April as I am still waiting to get my licensed reinstated and verified for the VSC. I know hundreds are, too. I hope part of their plan in the near future is computerization. Thanks nursedandy, keep us posted.

I came here on a working visa (H1C) way back March 2003. I filed my application for adjustment of status for permanent residence together with my husband on December 2004 but with the backlog, we are still waiting for our green cards. And actually, with the April 2009 visa bulletin, the visa numbers again retrogressed for the Philippines ( and other countries)--it is now March 1, 2003. It was May 1, 2005 in the March 2009 visa bulletin. What is you visa, a. nurse.soon?

Well, I'm glad you're done with it, dot_040783. I'll just wait for CBONE to process my request for the VSC, hope it will be done soon. Anyways, I am currently licensed here in Texas but I am planning to apply for a license in New Jersey to be near my family. Does Saipan BON charge the same fee for a verification of license for endorsement and for the visascreen, which is $40?... I want to make sure I send in the appropriate fees which is soon. Thanks.

The P1,500 was just for the mailing as I might confuse you.

I just had my license verified by PRC in Manila for the visascreen certificate last month. I sent the verification form to my brother ( as I am here in Texas as well) with authorization letter for him to transact it for me. It took about two weeks. He went back to PRC when it was ready to be mailed as they have courier/ DHL inside the PRC campus and paid like P1,500. Three to four days later, I got an email from CGFNS that they have received the document.

That's the same email address I know. I got it from one of the forms in their website. I emailed them like late last month for an inquiry but did not get a reply.
