1. Complete Visa Screen paperwork as soon as possible. This will be a requirement starting in July, so think how much busier CGFNS is going to get.
2. Whoever tells you not to worry about English, just go to California and take the NCLEX exam, is 100% wrong. Sure, you can get a license but none of the hospitals are hiring without you being able to pass your English exams. Especially the "Speaking" section. Unless your idea of working in the US is to be doing something other than being a nurse. Plus then you would no longer have 2 years of current work experience.
3. So please keep all of this in mind when you decide to listen to a recruiter. You should come first, not putting money in their pockets. Think of what you really want to be doing....................
4. Finally, in order to get a Visa Screen certificate to take to the Embassy, you must have English skills equivalent to that of a native speaker. It can be done, but you will have to put the time and effort into it.
Good luck to all of you and may you be successful in your goals.

For VSC you need to pay CA to send verification to ICHP using the appropriate form. You can not send the results yourself and they will not accept it.

download the VSC handbuk, look for the "request for validation of registration/license", fill in the first part of the form for your personal info, send it together with the $60 fee to the CABON.
you are going to use the same form to be sent to the PRC if you are licensed here in philippines, the total fee is around P200.
You are welcome. Just do the same thing when you gave the application fee for initial licensure. It takes 2-3 weeks for them to process and send it to ICHP plus add another 2-3 weeks before ICHP reflects it on your CGFNS account.
I passed the NCLEX RN for california. But when i was applying for visa screen, i'm not sure what to put on the LICENSE INFORMATION part. I don't have my license yet because i need SSN. Should I still place there i'm licensed? On what status?

hey lawrence, how about in NM, what is the average processing time for them to send a verification of license to CGFNS? i've been waiting for 2 mos now and there is no update still on my CGFNS account. thou im not in a hurry, i just want to make sure everything is in right direction.
