Hi I am a VT nclex passer and I wish to work in CA. Will VT release my license even without SSN? I hope to hear from anyone who knows. Thank you!

If you do not have a SSN then you can not apply to CA as they will not accept application without a SSN

So what do I need to do so I can work in CA?

Until you get a valid work permit or immigrant visa which will allow you to apply for a US SSN all you can do is look for a employer, depending on route you take to get job, get applicable work/immigrant visa apply for SSN and then apply to the BRN for license

How long does it takes to have a working visa in the US? I think immigrant visa takes 10 years? Am I right?

working visa has just capped for this year unless you find a hospital that meets the exempt rule for H1b. You need to meet requirements and the hospital has to prove that the job requires a BSN as that is the minimum for H1b plus you need experience or be specialized

Okay! I hope next year it will open again. Thank you sooo much for those information.
