After calling the Board earlier this week with it being almost 7 weeks since my check was cashed, (10 weeks total since mailing things in), a board member told me they looked at my file and saw that everything was in there to issue my license but the evaluator for my license had so many to issue that it was going to take maybe another 3 weeks. I filed a complaint on the board website that day after that convo. I had a department of california affairs member email me the next day and tell me that they called my evaluator and had my perm license number issued for me that day. So its finally posted! going on 11 weeks total, 7 weeks since check has been cashed. its not showing up yet on nursys just the breeze website.

Yes you should do everything in person. Mailing it in sends it to a mailroom of "thousands of appliants" said one of the BON operators. Therefore it doesn't get opened for a while. Mine took four weeks to get opened and loaded. Bring it in person and do as much as you can in person including the Live Scan process. The livescan process doesn't take very long just have the materials ready that you need. If you read previous comments from earlier this year, the process of doing everything there is much faster.

Search in "timeline for endorsing to CA license" in the search bar for this website and that forum tells you all you need to know. Get your license first.

So this was my timeline post from last week March 30: Livescan fingerprinting done, application submittted via MAIL, transcripts overnighted April 15th: Nothing up on breeze yet, check cashed April 20th: Email conformation from breeze sent, Breeze states my license is "pending", and that it is "missing education history" April 25th: Called BON and spoke to rep who stated that it takes 4 weeks from time when breeze is created to go over transcripts so callback at the 8 week mark and should have temp license by end of May May19th: Called BON again to make sure they received my transcipts because I've heard that some people's got lost in the mail room. A very rude lady told me "Since you mailed in your app, it takes about 60-90 days longer to process. You should call back at the 60 day mark from APRIL 20th to check your application status." She also said my transcripts have probably arrived but havent been reviewed yet. Update: My breeze account has now removed the "Missing education history" as a defeciency and I now have nothing except a "pending" status and when you click on the pending status it says "open". I'm assuming they have looked at my transcripts now and I'm just awaiting one of the staff members to get off their hiney and assign me a number. Going on 8 weeks from submission via mail

I've been following this forum for a while to try and get a general idea of how long this process takes and I thought I would write my experience thus far from endorsing from Colorado to California after getting offered a job on March 29th March 30: Livescan fingerprinting done, application submittted via MAIL, transcripts overnighted April 15th: Nothing up on breeze yet, check cashed April 20th: Email conformation from breeze sent, Breeze states my license is "pending", and that it is "missing education history" April 25th: Called BON and spoke to rep who stated that it takes 4 weeks from time when breeze is created to go over transcripts so callback at the 8 week mark and should have temp license by end of May May19th: Called BON again to make sure they received my transcipts because I've heard that some people's got lost in the mail room. A very rude lady told me "Since you mailed in your app, it takes about 60-90 days longer to process. You should call back at the 60 day mark from APRIL 20th to check your application status." She also said my transcripts have probably arrived but havent been reviewed yet. Very upset right now as I have been told different things by different BON employees. Also asked why it doesn't state anywhere in the application that it takes a month longer to process applications that are MAILED and why we pay for things to be overnighted (like transcripts) when they haven't' even been touched or looked it and its been 7 weeks. The lady was very rude and put me on hold and actually hung on me. I'm seriously in shock with how long and unorganized this process is. I am definitely filing a complaint as soon as I can. This is a professional organization that expects us to act and be the best professionals we can, yet their professionalism is almost absent. Will keep updated!
