Apple19:You can take the exam anywhere in the US and about 8 other locations outside the US. My initial registration is with the state of Connecticut but I sat for the exam in Florida. I've never been to Connecticut. I currently practice in Maine |

Tunjinodaysoff:The next step is for them to file her I-140 petition with USCIS. Filing the petition signifies the official commencement of the immigration process. By the way, has your wife passed NCLEX-RN or CGFNS? 1 Like |

She will take Nclex in a few days in India. But she has CGFNS and Visa screen. So please can you advise the timeline between the ETA form 9098 that she signed being approved and I-140 petition auschris: 1 Like 1 Share |

Tunjinodaysoff:I wish her success in her exam. What agency is she with? I don't know the exact timeline. I believe it is at the discretion of the sponsor. With Avant, it should not be more than 2 weeks. In my case, my ETA form got back to them on 10/8/15 and the filed the I-140 2 days later. I don't know what the current practice is |

auschris: Thanks for your help sir, but some states requires IELTS AND SSN which I don't have. That's one of the reasons I chose Texas initially. Or do you mean I can register with TBON and take the exam anywhere in the US? |

o..that was fast. We signed last week. But the company employing my wife says they would like her NCLEX ready. The recruitment company is Cirrus Medical Stafing So how long did the I-140 process take for you and are you now in USA auschris: |

Great Forum, very Informative, nice one babiee, had to read from the very first page to the last, and indeed I have learnt so much within a short space of time. Hmmmm choosing the country to practice happen to be very dicey, read to the very last and am still very confused on which to opt for. Was all out for the UK as at February, till the whole IELTS saga hit me, and I just couldn't get that 7 in reading, lol I gave up just this morning when I discovered I had the cut off for Canada all these while and didn't know..... That reminds me I stand to correct some info earlier made here as regards the IELTS accepted score for Canada, it is not 7 on each band but L7.5 WS7 R6.5 Overall 7. I think just the UK and Australia requires 7 on each band. Truth is with all what I have learnt on here, Australia seem to be the hot cake, it actually got me thinking to reconsider my option of taking the IELTS again lol, I think it would be worth it...... ....Contd on next page |
Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by AjaoSandra: 12:14am On May 21, 2017 |
....The USA is cool likewise, but I do not have my 2+ years experience in a 100+ bedded hospital so I felt may be if I apply for my CES, write my Nclex and pass solely just may be Avant would consider me ,and help with getting an employment offer, but then again auschris said it took him like 8months to have that done, n errr... Cgfns evaluation taking about 1yr ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |
Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by AjaoSandra: 12:15am On May 21, 2017 |
....which was why I loved the UK package even though the economy isn't that encouraging considering the tax and the income of nurses compared to other western sides. UK is quite fast with what I gathered, it just takes about 3months from when you make your IELTS cut off to the time You Take the OSCE....I have heard so much from USA applicants, UK applicants, Australia too but very little about the Canada NNAS, like the length of time it takes for them to assess your credentials, have it forwarded to the BON you applied with for evaluation and you getting the ATT, because truth is I hope it doesn't take that long, because I am really impatient lol, one year for cgfns evaluation is just crazy long, is there anybody on the platform who had it different as in shorter? Please kindly share, I need motivation ![]() And again for clarification purposes wellendowed did you say it costs 12000dollars to apply to an accredited university to do the 3months bridge programme for nurses in australia ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() PS feel free to correct me please if I made any mistake with my info..... Thanks . |

Or maybe I should just stick with the NNAS, Canada isn't that bad eh with what have gathered here, atleast away from Ontario, Alberta seem to be what most peeps on here go for, will do my personal research tho......to know the most favourable BON AjaoSandra: |

On this journey, patience is a virtue. if you are impatient, the waka go tey because you will be taking some wrong steps. To be clear, it took 8 months from the time I applied to Avant to when I got my visa. I passed CGFNS in 2007 and got my initial visascreen certificate in 2008. Then came visa retrogression. I renewed my visascreen certificate in 2015 after it expired in 2013. If you add these up, you will find that it is definitely more than 8 months. The good news is that it's much shorter now. I estimate 18 months to 2 years. You can complete CGFNS evaluation in less than 4 months, depending on how you coordinate with the relevant bodies in Nigeria like your school of nursing and nursing council. AjaoSandra: 3 Likes |

I agree with @Auschris, cgfns doesn't have to take one year to complete the CES order. It depends on when they receive your documents. If you are very sure of acing Nclex on your own without the help of any recruiting agency then by all means go for it. I heard NNAS takes a longer period to complete the evaluation unlike cgfns. You just have to be patient. If you are in a hurry to leave Naija then try Dubai. In less than 3 months you will be out of Nigeria. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I actually want to apply for the CES, prep for the exam, write the NCLEX n all solely, but I am faced constantly with the fear of not having that 2yrs experience in a 100 bedded tertiary level hospital, might turn out to be a problem on the long run, Need your advice on this really considering the level of your accomplishment so far. auschris: |
Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by AjaoSandra: 2:47pm On May 21, 2017 |
Sigh.... Been online for countless hours now trying to get an estimate of the time it takes for the NNAS evaluation, atleast from a reliable source, OMNI says 8wks, CRNBC says 10weeks, these are all official bodies, they might just give official estimates, so I really don't accept it fully.... more reason why I need someone who's gone through the process, or is currently going through it, a first hand experience, the #WhenRealityHitsYouIntheFace kinda estimate lol..... would really be helpful. Plus how far with your application process? last was you considering the NNAS, have you changed your mind? This whole thing can be very confusing n tiring barbiee: |
Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by auschris: 4:30pm On May 21, 2017 |
If the US is your most preferred destination, by all means, go for it. A lot can change with you having NCLEX-RN. You might be attractive to other recruiters. No be only avant dey market. AjaoSandra: 1 Like |
