Waiting for licence

Hi Everyone!

Maybe somebody had that issue before, so I hope my case is not hopeless:uhoh3: .I passed NCLEX-RN March 3rd 2006.I obtained unofficial results and few days later by mail official.I was told in the center where I went for the exam that I will be waiting for the licence up to 4 weeks. So I waited until I saw that my classmates who took test after me were obtaining their licences. So I called New York State Board and I was told wait, your licence is still processing. After another week I called again and ...big surprise. I was told that my educational record is incomplete(!!!!)(I sent it ), that there is no record of my NCLEX!!!(then I really panicked). I was put on hold and after 10 min my record miracuosly was found.(relief).Then my status, the rep told me that I have to send copy of my visa.I said I filled in the application for licence that I hold F1 visa(it is not required to attach copy of it).Then she said if you want to get your licence you have to submit your educational record and copy of your visa( I said I have OPT, she asked me what is it).Now I am waiting another week for the form(educational record).....

Maybe anyone faced that issue before?From my friends I have never heard that State Board of Nursing verifies your status.

I am confused:angryfire , pls help me

They always verify your status. That is why I always tell everyone to attach a copy of their passport and visa, if they have one to the application. There was a place on the application for that, you may have missed it. It is in the area where they ask what type of visa. did you actually incldue your visa number, or just that you had one? There is a place to put the number. If you do not have a visa for the US, always attach a copy of your passport. Works just as well.

In the future, any application that asks for type of visa, include a copy of it.

And yes, every state verifies who you are. They are not going to issue a license to someone if they are not sure of who you are.

You attended school in the US, so you were not required to submit the CVS, but someone needs to sumbit your transcripts to them. Your school should have done this for you.

Have you submitted for the Visa Screen Certificate yet thru CGFNS? You will need that before you will be issued a green card, only thing that is waived for you is having to take the English exams, otherwiese you need to go thru the same procedures.
