Hello Silverdragon 102. Thank you for your reply.. This would be a great help for me and my friend. I have some few questions again regarding this matter. 1. If in case my friend wasn't able to find an employer in NY do you think the best thing to do is just to go home here in the Philippines or just extend his stay as tourist? 2. In this time of recession do you think having a good and reputable agency that could possibly help him look for an employer in NY is the best thing to do? 3. How long is the waiting time for NY nclex application? is his 6 months stay in NY enough to complete all the requirements and sit for the exam? Thank you very much for your reply. God bless.. =)

Hello to all of you. I'm just a newbie here. I'm very happy to read some of the post here in the forum. It was all very helpful. I have a few questions regarding nclex,ielts and a tourist visa. Can somebody help me and advice me on what to do. I have a friend who is a licensed nurse here in the Philippines. He took the califonia nclex exam last July 2010 but unfortunately he failed. He applied to another state (New York). The CVS result is not yet released and at present the status of his CVS application says that it is still "waiting for approval". He is waiting for almost 8 months now for the result of CVS to be released. He is planning to go to the US this coming July 2011 using tourist visa while waiting for his CVS result to be released so he can apply already for NY NCLEX exam. He is also planning to take the nclex and ielts in NY. My questions are: 1. Is it possible for him to complete all the legal documents and take all those exams in 6 months time? because he is only using a tourist visa. 2. Is it possible for him to look for an employer in 6 months time that could sponsor him either in the hospital or home care setting when he was able to passed all the said exams? 3. He is planning to obtain a working visa while in the US. Is it possible? 4. How long is the processing time of a working visa if he was able to obtain one? Thank you very much in advance for all the helpful answers that you are going to provide. All your answers would be of a great help. God bless all of you. :)
