Dear nurses, this is to seek your suggestions regarding my offer. I am a foreign educated RN without IELTS. First I was interviewed by Passport USA, and they sent me a 12 page contract. But the contract was tricky, and I felt that signing it is going to be a trap. Nowhere they mentioned about petition filing. I understood that PPUSA contract means prebooking RNs into their pool. Their penalty for breaking the contract is heavy, you even have to pay them if you break the contract before filing I140. I politely denied the offer. Then I got a call from Vema Staffing Partners. I got offer letter from them. They mentioned that they will move my papers for wage determination and I140 even without IELTS. In order to move my papers, I have to book the IELTS test date. Therefore I have booked test date and updated them. They acknowledged my update, after that no news. Hoping to hear back from them. Now I want to know from someone who were already gone thru these phases, what will be the next steps? Are they going to ask me some documents for wage determination? And after that any documents needed for I140? By when they need my IELTS? I understand that IELTS has nothing to do with I140. It is the visa screen that matters and not IELTS. By when visa screen is needed? As per my understanding, visa screen is needed during consular interview only and not before that. Can someone please explain?

Congratulations mslayt

Hi NirvanaUSRN, RN Just wanted to double check, is visa-screen mandatory for petition filing? Can petition be filed once NCLEX test is passed? What I understand was Visa screen will be required at the time of consular interview and NOT at the time of petition filing. Please reply.

Hi Rn_miadomsmommy, ADN congrtulations! May I know how many questions were there in UWORLD Qbank that you purchased for $59. Also any idea, how many questions were there in Kaplan qbank if we spend $59 for one month?

Hi Dabser, I am trying to answer your queries step by step as per my experience. Submitting fingerprints if living outside US - First of all, you must have 3 pieces of FD258 fingerprint cards. Fill in your personal details, take it to your local police, pay the required fee and they will make your finger prints with their seal and date. Then you have to send the finger print cards to "A Fingerprinting US Photo" Chicago. Along with finger print cards, you have to enclose your recent 2" by 2" photo, your passport copy and a demand draft of USD 55 drawn in favour of "A FINGERPRINTING US PHOTO".For more details, please contact [email protected] CES and Visascreen - CES report is just a report issued by CGFNS where one copy will go to Illinois Dept of Financial and professional Regulation (IDFPR) and one copy will be mailed to you. Based on your CES report, IDFPR will decide on your eligibility to write NCLEX RN exam. Visascreen is another certificate that is issued after you pass NCLEX RN and TOEFL/IELTS (TOEFL/IELTS may be waived by IDFPR based on your CES report) Continental Testing Services - CTS is an external body authorized by IDFPR to handle applications of all nurses those who wish to be licensed in Illinois. Yes, apart from applying to CGFNS for your Credential Evaluation, you have to apply separately to CTS for writing NCLEX RN exam. A Fingerprinting US Photo, once received your fingerprint cards, will mail you acknowledgement receipt. While applying to CTS, you have to send that receipt to CTS along with a demand draft of USD 98 drawn in favour of "CONTINENTAL TESTING SERVICES". For more details, please contact **** Pearson Vue - Pearson Vue is the agency which administers NCLEX RN exams all over the world. After IDFPR declares you eligible, you will receive Authorization to Test mail (ATT). ATT is valid for 90 days, where you have to appear for NCLEX-RN exam within 90 days. Once received ATT, you have to register with Pearson VUE and schedule date for your test. Hope this clears your query.

Thank you Silverdragon102. As my place of birth is Kuwait, will it increase the processing speed?

Hello all I passed my NCLEX RN with Illinois board recently. I am an Indian nurse, currently working as RN in the UAE. My state of Chargeability is Kuwait. I would like to continue my practice in the US. May I know which is the best international recruiter whom I can contact for a hassle-free immigration for me and my family? Awaiting quality replies from your past experiences. Thanks a ton in advance. Alex.
