Hi! My employer decided to petition my Green card and I have a question regarding CGFNS. I am a BSN and MSN graduated from US schools. I didn't know that I still have to go through CGFNS.. If there is anyone who has degree from US and went through this process, can you share your experience? like how long it took? what was the hard part? I need to get this certificate ASAP and I am kinda freaking out!

Not US educated. The efficiency really depends whether you and your school submitted the following requirements as soon as possible. In my experience pre-COVID in 2019, I got my CGFNS Visa Screen Certificate in 4mos (Mar-June) just because of the delayed paperworks from my 3schools + mailing from Toronto.
