   Yes, you will need to make an account. It will likely take a few weeks because even though they have received all your documents, it will still take them a bit to begin processing. At least that's how it was in my case.

    Thankfully my supervisor has been reassuring me to not worry, and that I can start as soon as I receive my license. I moved to San Diego on the 6th and was supposed to start working on the 11th.
