Visa Screen: Licanse Validation

suzanne4, RN · Sep 9, 2005

It can take one week, up to a few weeks, or more. There is no strict time table. Is this for the Visa Screen Certificate? On average, it will take about four months for you to receive it, after they have verified your passing score on either NCLEX or CGFNS exams, and the English exams, if they are not waived.

Some have received it earlier, but most have averaged around the four months time. If you figure on that, and you receive it earlier, then consider it a present. :wink2:

Not sure where you are located right now, but if in the US, it can be just a few weeks after you have completed your exams. It also depends on when you submitted the application. If you just did it at the same time that you took NCLEX, then it will definitely be on the longer time since they still have to do a verification of your education, etc.

I always encourage everyone to submit the application at the same time that they apply to a BON for licensure.

I have sent my visa screen application at the same time I have sent all the other CGFNS-applications (way before the NCLEX)

My parents are located in FL and that's where all the correspondence is sent to

I passed the CGFNS EXAM July 13th, I am taking IELTS 12th Nov. My initial license(From my home country) expired on 19th August, Do I have to ask my licencing board to send the renewed information to CGFNS? Considering that I passed the exam requirements before the expiration of my license, I think the renewed information is no more necessary. Plese advise me.
