I passed my NCLEX and then received an email asking for a Letter of Explanation regarding my criminal history, since I had checked yes on the application.

@amandalsanchez I came across your question and am currently wondering the same thing and am hoping you have received an answer by now. I just passed the NCLEX over 2 weeks ago and have been checking the online verification portal constantly. I submitted my part of the NYS application way ahead of time back in March so I was hoping if there were any issues with what documentation I provided they would of let me know by now.

After you had passed your NCLEX, when did they contact you to provide additional information?

I'm hoping by now everything was cleared up for you and that you received your license in a timely manner. TIA!
