Same here, I also applied to CABON for first licensure(I am a foreign Grad.)and I live in NY. I am confused where to endorse my license. NY requires CVS from CGFNS and its very lengthy process and I hope NJ is faster in doing endorsement...but, the problem is I want to work in such a facility which sponsers Green Card. I dont know how fast NJ state is in issuing Green Card..I heard that NY needs only few weeks.... ********************************************************** NJ and NY processes Green card in about the same speed. As to how fast green cards are processed, it would usually depend on the processing center of the USCIS, currently : Vermont (where NJ & NY are included), California, Texas and Nebraska processing centers. Texas usually is the longest, more than 1 year to get your approval, then California, then Nebraska, and then there's Vermont processing center, where it takes about 2 weeks to 2 months. I got my approval in about 3 weeks. So it doesn't matter much if u pick NY or NJ, processing time is the same. You will need your english exams though before you can be processed. Good luck to you. :)
