After all the processing for CES, BON MO and finally got the eligibility letter to test (ATT), I am finally going to take NCLEX-RN this coming July 5 in Kansas City, Missouri. Though I am not yet very sure if I am already ready to take, but by faith I am doing it.
My question is, should I order the VisaScreen (CGFNS) now even before sitting and passing the test or should I wait until I passed NCLEX? And how long does it take to get VisaScreen certificate after passing all the requiired documents?
And for IELTS/TOEFL/TOIEC requirement, when is the best time to take it, before taking nclex or after passing.

It's not impossible but you need paid US nursing experience to legally work as a clinical nursing instructor in the US.
You can look into other options but most other countries, as you know from Thailand you need to demonstrate local language proficiency in addition to having paid nursing experience. Some of the middle eastern countries will accept inexperienced overseas nurses however it's not an easy life there and only you can decide if this is a viable option for you/your family.
There is almost no need for overseas inexperienced nurses in the US at this time.
You may find another opportunity that is better for your needs and helps you enrich and develop your clinical nursing practice.
My suggestion would be don't hyper focus on the US and end up blinded to other opportunities that may appear. Good luck as you pursue your career
