Visa screen concerns

When I remember it right, you can print or download the handbook for visascreen, I think most of it is explained there.

hi suzzane! thank you for replying..

ok.. so il the fill-out the paper forms, and send it the same time with the other requirements..

and il put california in the location where i passed the exam rather than the philippines, and i will answer no, since i still don't have my license due to lack of ssn.. i hope im correct.. i really don't want to commit any typographical errors on my forms.

however, on the experience area, il be having my ER nurse residency program, its a six months program starting next month (february), do i have the option of writing .5 year/s of experience or id rather put 0 year?? it sounds a little unusual or uncommon to write .5, but il be considering it as a work experience..

hi!

i want to pay my visa screen application(pen and paper) using my sister's credit card but she's in the U.S. and im here, in the philippines. how can i do that? can she just fax me the completed credit card payment form then i'll send it to cgfns/ichp with my application form?

thank you....

The issue is you haven't started your program so still have 0 experience

I see Suzanne has answered your question in her thread, please don't post same question in a few places as it can be confusing with answers

ok everything is clear now.. thank you for your answers!!!

Hi guys, I'm glad I found this post.

I'm also starting to work on my VSC.

Based from what I read, I will NOT use the online forms right? I should just cancel the order? I can't check on the status anyway. Or can I do an online application, pay for it (online using a CC) but also submit printed forms from the VSC Handbook (those forms that printed the wrong info)?

And similar to posh, I do not have any experience yet so it should look like

I recently worked in the country: Philippines

I recently worked in the City / State / Province: Quezon City (this is where I got most of my RLE rotations and this is where my nursing school is located)

I recently worked in the profession: Registered Nurse

I worked at this job for how many years? 0 years

I also sat the exam in Makati City Philippines. So I will instead write the following information in the Nurses Only Questions - NCLEX-RN or SBPTE Test Details:

Test date: Jan 21, 2009

Test Country: United States of America (Instead of Philippines)

Test State/Province: Illinois

Did passing of this exam lead to a license being issued in the same state/province and country? yes (I found my name and license number in the license look-up page, I don't have the physical license yet though).

I cannot skip these questions

I also found somewhere in Suzanne's VSC (https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/visa-screen-certificate-195732.html) guide that I do not need to submit the license verification form and request for Academic records since I already went through the CES process; is this accurate?

Also, I'd like to take the opportunity to raise some more questions:

1. My license will expire by May 31st 2010 (says on the website), if I'm here in the Philippines and I don't have an SSN, how will I renew it?

2. My friend who never had any transactions with CGFNS before is now taking the Visa Screen. Unlike me, he hasn't gone through CES. Sadly, he took the IELTS 2 years ago and will expire on april 28 (I pray that CGFNS will still consider his scores). Since he lives in a far away province, I helped him. I personally asked IDP to forward his score report to CGFNS since their office is in Makati and much nearer to where I am. Problem is, he does not have a CGFNS / ICHP ID number and he has no documents with CGFNS yet, not even the applications. I advised him to do the online application but it seems like CGFNS will not issue him an ID number until he pays for it. I don't want him to jump at that since I myself is not sure if the online method is the best for VSC. If we were to do the VSC through the handbook, would it still be possible for us to check the status of our application on line and can we pay it on line even though the application was done manually?

Thanks guys,

Both of you, Suzzane and Silver, guided me through every step of my US application. I would not have gone this far without your help. Thanks again.

I'll wait for your responses before we proceed with the application.

God Bless you!

Hi,

what's the link for the license look-up page

Hi,

what's the link for the license look-up page

What link for what license look up?

hi guys, i'm glad i found this post.

i'm also starting to work on my vsc.

and similar to posh, i do not have any experience yet so it should look like

i recently worked in the country: philippines

i recently worked in the city / state / province: quezon city (this is where i got most of my rle rotations and this is where my nursing school is located)

i recently worked in the profession: registered nurse

i worked at this job for how many years? 0 years

i also sat the exam in makati city philippines. so i will instead write the following information in the nurses only questions - nclex-rn or sbpte test details:

test date: jan 21, 2009

test state/province: illinois

did passing of this exam lead to a license being issued in the same state/province and country? yes (i found my name and license number in the license look-up page, i don't have the physical license yet though).

i also found somewhere in suzanne's vsc (https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/visa-screen-certificate-195732.html) guide that i do not need to submit the license verification form and request for academic records since i already went through the ces process; is this accurate? if you did ces with cgfns then they can use your documents from ces for vsc but you do need to request that bon/brn confirm your pass of nclex

also, i'd like to take the opportunity to raise some more questions:

1. my license will expire by may 31st 2010 (says on the website), if i'm here in the philippines and i don't have an ssn, how will i renew it? depends on bon/brn. may require ceu's doing to maintain license. with retrogression they may be more agreeable to renew with no ssn

2. my friend who never had any transactions with cgfns before is now taking the visa screen. unlike me, he hasn't gone through ces. sadly, he took the ielts 2 years ago and will expire on april 28 (i pray that cgfns will still consider his scores). since he lives in a far away province, i helped him. i personally asked idp to forward his score report to cgfns since their office is in makati and much nearer to where i am. problem is, he does not have a cgfns / ichp id number and he has no documents with cgfns yet, not even the applications. i advised him to do the online application but it seems like cgfns will not issue him an id number until he pays for it. i don't want him to jump at that since i myself is not sure if the online method is the best for vsc. if we were to do the vsc through the handbook, would it still be possible for us to check the status of our application on line and can we pay it on line even though the application was done manually? you can pay online and process paperwork manually. your friend needs to be aware that no application started may result in loosing his english results and having to get them resent to ichp. if he hasn't applied to them before they will send id number once they receive payment. if you haven't got it then you don't need to worry about completing it on the form

thanks guys,
