two weeks. But when did you take your TOEFL?
I cannot rely on CGFNS they are worse than USCIS,our experiene with them is that you need to Fax the result,follow with several calls,mail via UPS,DHL and request to talk to quality control supervisor. It took 3 months just to get that little certificate with no exam to write and with all requirements met.One of the directors did give an apology at the end of it all. Submit your result and follow up immediately would be my advice
Visa Screen Certificate from FCCPT is very fast. They are very helpful too.
I got the certificate in less than 5 days and they also did overnite in my case, when i requested them. So, once you provide all the documents, just request them to process fast and follow up regurarly
take care

VisaScreen for RN
Thanks for everybody's inputs. I apply visascreen for RN so I don't think I can apply with FCCPT. My TOEFL passing score was submitted a year ago. I only have TSE to deal with. I filed 485 and may get RFE for visascreen any minute now. I take TSE every month now and hopefully can pass it within next one or two times. TSE is really tough to me. Have you ever heard filing the second 485 application based on the originally approved I-140 petition if my first 485 app is denied due to visascreen not available? There are lot of RNs stuck on visascreen with filed 485 applications. There must have some info about this situation. I talk to my lawyer and he said 485 denial doesn't affect the approved I-140 therefore I can file the second 485 app by using the approved I-140 petition. But another lawyer said the regarding approved I-140 will be invalid if the 485 app is denied. Need inputs on this issue. Thanks.

Hi Moona
As a RN , I share your burden. Like you, I struggled with TSE for a long time. I took that test nearly 4 times. I could not got more than 45 on each 4 exams. As a last hope I finally tried IELTS and passed at the first exam and got my visa screen certificate. I strongly suggest you, you should take IELTS. Do not waste your time with TSE. My first 485 application was denied in 2004 because at that time I was not able to submit visascreen and then following week of denial I applied for my new 485. Now I am waiting my approval. I have other nurse friends who are in the same boat with you because they can not pass TSE, they are trying IELTS as a last hope. I say last hope because they got their rfe recently and their lawyer told them if they can not submit visascreen in 3 months, they would be DEPORTED, and they only can apply to greencard in their home country. USCIS is changing procedure over and over again.

Thank you very much, selak:
I stuck on TSE for about a year, 2 times of 40 and 4 times of 45. I want to try for the rest of this and chnage to IELTS next year if I cannot pass it. Currently I have H-4 status too so that will buy a little more time until my second 485 being filed. Was your second 485 filed upon the approved 140 that your first 485 was based on and denied? I need proven evidence that I can file the second 485 without new 140 petition. Thanks.
You mentioned other RNs who have to leave if RFE not met. Did they come to US as 140 petition beneficiaries (they got immigration visa)? Can they file 485 for the second time?
