Question: Why do I need to take the CGFNS or NCLEX?

Answer: Nurses who wish to obtain a green card, immigrant visa have several tests to complete. These are listed in US immigration laws. In order to file the first step of the visa process, the I-140, there must be proof of CGFNS score of 400 or a nursing license in the state of hire. A nursing license in all states requires NCLEX examination. Many states also require the CGFNS exam of all foriegn nurse applicants. There are a a few states that do not.




Question: I am currently working in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There is no test site for the CGFNS. How can I qualify for the I-140?

Answer: This poses a challenge! CGFNS is also given in Eygpt and Jordan. You can review the cities by going to the CGFNS web site, see our Related Links. In addition, many Philippine nurse's take an annual trip home to Philippines. Perhaps arrange your trip during the test day. CGFNS is given 4 times yearly. Application must be submitted at least several months in advance of the test. A Philippine nurse might also travel to the USA, if eligible for a US Tourist Visa. In addition, the NCLEX exam is given in US Territories. Saipan does not require a US Tourist Visa to enter for a short visit.




Question: CGFNS: march 13 2002 exam result- I am Maribelle A B*** of *****. My CGFNS ID is ******* and my birthdate is ****. I took the CGFNS Exam last 13 March 2002 here in Manila. I havent received my result yet.Thank you.

Answer: You will need to direct your question to the CGFNS, not to me. CGFNS will accept fax or email, In my experience, these delays are usually related the the PRC not sending your license verification. Have you passed TOEFL and has TOEFL sent the score to CGFNS? That will also delay the issuance of your certificate.
