Hi. Just wondering if u have been notified by nvc and received your fee bill since your priority date got current. Mine is September 2008 and still waiting for good news from my attorney.

Thanks for the reply. My friend is actually in Cali now and i read from comments here that cali bon is imposing this concurrency rule which should force a foreign nurse like me to go back to school to fulfill its requirements. Maybe it's only for cali bon then.

Thanks shieyecla. That's exactly the answer i was looking for. I have another question though. My arranged 'employer' is in Michigan, but my family lives in Florida. How hard is it to endorse one's license from Florida to Michigan and vice versa? My Michigan employer is a nursing home, which i used only for my petition through my sister's connections. I do not have to work there though. However, just in case i need to, because i might find it hard to get a job right away when i get there, i'd like to know how to endorse one's license in these states. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm also a Filipino nurse who is planning to apply for nclex in florida bon. My priority date of 2008 finally got current in July this year. Unfortunately, the one i used for visascreen was the cgfns certification program. Now I really have to take the nclex because i need either a license to show or a pass letter on my embassy interview (that's what i picked up from reading allnurses comments). I also understand that much has changed from the requirements for nclex application from 6 years back. A friend told me that nowadays nclex requires an additional 2 yrs schooling for foreign graduates like me before one can process her nclex application, much like the bridging program in canada says she. Now that is really scary because that means that i'll have to be in the US already to take the 2-yr course requirement. Is there any truth to this? I hope not, or else i can never have my American dream.

Hi, I am a Cgfns passer holding a license from the Philippines and planning to apply in Florida BON for NCLEX. I am now based in Saudi and just found out a few months ago that my priority date of September 2008 has become current since July 2014 . I have read from a few blogs here that either a US license or nclex pass letter is required during the embassy interview. I am just wondering how long it takes to apply for the nclex in Florida if you already have a CGFNS (no CES) and IELTS because I am worried that if I apply too early, my att would arrive too soon and I still can't take a vacation from here in Saudi. I'll be needing to fly home to take the nclex.
