VSC Application Form Questions

Green card is another name for the permanent visa, that is what you are applying for.

If the other names does not apply to you, then put N/A.

If you do not have experience then write new grad.

Your transcripts that were submitted for you to apply for licensure is what you need to submit to them. You can list the non-professional programs but the transcripts are not needed from there.

I suggest waiting on the VSC application until you know when you are taking it and that you will pass it then. The application is only good for one year, and with the retrogression in place, it will be several years before you have chance to get to the US; it is no longer guaranteed that you will get the green card. There are many more applicants than there are visas available for those from your country.

The VSC is currently needed when you have your interview at the US Embassy, not needed before. Would focus on passing the English exams before submitting the application for the VSC.

Hi! Just a follow up question, I'm having trouble on answering item number 14 Education Evaluation, particularly the "professional education" table.

I dont know what to write on the "Professional Title Obtained". When i graduated college i obtained a degree bachelors of science in nursing, but its not considered to be a profession right? so what should i write on that column? Nurse?

And in the column "Name of Diploma or certificate in its original language". i don't know what to write there.. "[name of school] Diploma? Certificate of Completion? All i can read in my diploma is "...... has conferred upon [my name] the degree BSN in recognition of the satisfactory fulfillment of the requirements pertaining to this degree and endow him with all the privileges and onors thereunto belonging."

Help please..

BSN is what you want to write there, that is a professional degree that is issued to you.

And for the other line, they want what is written on the line in the main part of the diploma, and that is the BSN again.

Registered Nurse is not the name of the degree, as the degree does not give licensure, but the BSN is what is to be used.

Hi! i have this question, i dont know if im gonna fill up the form "Authoriztion To Release Information" since i dont have an agency and im processing my VSC on my own, do i have to fill this up?

Im confused because someone told me that i should fill this form with the information about the state on which i got a license like for me its in New Mexico, so I was told to fill this up with that because New Mexico will be needing information about my application on visa screen. Is this true?

No, you do not need that Release Form. That Form is only for any 3rd party, such as agencies to get a copy of something from a BON or from CGFNS.

If you are applying for VSC, New Mexico has it's own License Verification Form strictly for CGFNS purposes. You only need to download it from their website and send it back to them, with the fee.

See: http://www.bon.state.nm.us/forms/VERIFICATIONSfee.pdf

We recommend using courier (Fedex, DHL, etc..) for any thing that will be containing a bank draft or money order.

If you prefer Philpost, just use what is approved by them.

It really doesn't matter what to use, so just use the one being used by the courier or the local post office since it will only contain paper application and no fingerprint cards. Any package containing a finger print card need to be in hard envelope to prevent folds and bents to the card.

And if you will be paying via credit card, you don't even need to mail it. They will accept it via fax. Just make sure the info. on the credit card is accurate.
