Service was straight forward to use. I made a follow-up with my universities who forwarded certificates via recorded mail. What I could upload I uploaded. When I had a question I was able to put in a query which was always responded to on time. I cannot fault their service because the website is very clear. Thank you for great service.

A worthwhile experience , I really appreciatethe extra patience the applicant navigators displayed whenever i called , Inspite of my Nigerian accent they were able to understand and flow with me and accorded m.e needed guidance in pursuant of my Nursing dreams I was also treated with respect and dignity . I have recommended CGFNS to my fellow foreign trained nurses and i will continue to do so. Thank you CGFNS for making me a nurse in the United States . God Bless CGFNS! ,God Bless Nigeria my original country! and God Bless America!

I had to use their services because it was one of the requirements for me to be able to get my license transferred over to the state I’m currently residing. I’m a foreign graduate and it was required for me to get my transcript evaluated through CGFNS and it is the worst experience I’ve ever have to deal with. I submitted my application April of this year and I’m currently still waiting which means I haven’t been able to practice for 6 months now. I paid a lot of money to be waiting this long. I was able to obtain my license from a different state and worked for almost 4 years. Whenever I email them they will say the same thing each time “ we received all documents and we’re currently processing your documents” I’m beyond frustrated. I tried calling them and they are just rude.

I had a great experience with CGFNS now. The way of processing in obtaining VS Certificate is easier. The updates about my process in each step is very clear. I feel that I am clearly accompanied in every step. Thank you for responding to emails. I love the My Messages section. Thank you for your generosity and patience. God bless you more!

I would like to to commend CGFNS for the amazing service in my application of becoming an RN in New York via CVS. All through out, this organization was considerate enough in all of my requests and I had faster processing time of my application than I expected. Truly, I am beyond grateful!More Power to this organization.My prayers🙏

CGFNS is a highly reputable and reliable organization. I purchased their services like CES-credential evaluation services & VisaScreen and was delivered /released on a timely manner. I highly recommend CGFNS for a hassle free documentation be it for Licensure (Initial or Endorsement) or for your Immigrant visa prerequisite.

CGFNS as an international body is very organized, time conscious and carries the applicant along through mail and other services. You can reach them in case of difficulties during registration or updating of profile. This could be done by calls or contact us message. I used these two methods often especially calls for quicker response. During the call, time is taking to explain the issue in a simple way and prompt action implemented. The only problem with call is patience, you shouldnt be in a hurry, it is done accordingly. CGFNS delivers at stipulated time, even shorter than expectation once the documents are available.Honestly, I recommend CGFNS to my colleagues, friends and others for effective and efficient services.

I write this wearing a smile on my face, CGFNS did good to me, am glad for the confidence I now have in my degree, and confidence to face my NJE, NCLEX exams with confidence not forgetting the confidence I have gained now for all the future to practice as an RN in the States. Thanks to CGFNS. Would love to refer as many friends as possible for this has made a difference in my life.

Regardless of how slow the process was for them to finish and evaluate my documents . It’s just really sad how they don’t have a study guide or a book to use to practice for the CGFNS Qualifying Exam. They tell you they have one on the website after you purchase the application. But it’s only 75 questions. That’s not enough to study for an exam. How are you suppose to practice , with what materials!?!? It’s just really ridiculous. Please make a book ! It’s not fair at all !*Update**September 7, 2021*They now have self-assessment exams , 2 that are self paced and 2 that are timed, labeled A and B each. I purchased all four of them and they all were the same exam. DO NOT WASTE your money on the exams. They do not give you explanations after you finish to see what you got wrong, they just tell you you’re percentage score. That’s no help !

The website was user friendly, its easily accessible.. the customer service _contact us_ was responsive enough which was great. The only thing for me that needs improvement; when they received my documents i need to follow it up thru email for it to be posted, it took about 20 days for that. Overall, it was just a swift process :) still highly recommended!

Thats it I have absolutely lost all patience I have dealing with this unprofessional service. Nobody replies and if any does, it will be in an odd time on a Sunday evening. My files have been sent and received for weeks and still marked ready for evaluation. I have had the same valuation done 8 years ago and they can just literally copy that but still....nothing!I cannot believe how much of a dismay I am experiencing with CGFNS international. My documents have been received 2 months ago and the evaluation is still not being done. I am contemplating just getting a refund or complaining to Pennsylvanias attorney general about this business. They are very unprofessional, it is virtually impossible to reach them via email and if you do, correspondence takes weeks, even months. We are paying them a lot of money for below mediocre work.

Nightmare. It’s been 7 months since my application and nothing has progressed. My school has sent 3 different mails to this facility and they have lost all of them somehow. Wish there was some other company I can use. Also notice how most of the 5 star reviews are written by people whose first review is CGFNS… I guess my $540 is being spent on paying people to write fake reviews here.

Review №27

I am very satisfied with their service starting from the application. Since I did it on my own without the help of any agencies, I sent a lot of queries to their contact us, and they were very responsive and patient. I was submitting all the documents as fast as I could despite of some pandemic situation and I’m happy that it just took 7 weeks for them to finally complete my visascreen. Thank you so much!=)

Horrible experience with cgfns.Different call person have different answers to the same question which is extremely deceiving. I started my process 1 year ago and they promised to help me out, but eventually when I was near the deadline they just backed off. The point is why giving such confusing answers when u don’t exactly know what to do...??? They just wanted me to pay and start the service some how and then gave multiple excuses which delayed my process. They even lost my documents and took no extra effort to even acknowledge their mistake by finding them. Their call persons don’t have the right information and they don’t really co-ordinate with each other. I would have simply picked another service and would have been done by now..!!!! Very frustrating!!!! Sheer waste of money, energy and most importantly “time”.

My name is Cate. As a foreign trained nurse aspiring to become an RN e in America I was apprehensive about the speed and accuracy CGFNS would take to send my CES report. To my surprise, I begun the process in May 2021 and on 19th July 2021 my CES report was ready and sent to the required state. The process was smooth with top notch professionalism CGFNS provided the support need along the process. From a happy foreign trained nurse I say -thank you to CGNFS for moving me closer to achieve my dream.

Very poor service, unaccommodating customer service. 30-40 minutes minimum waiting before they answer your call. And answering service they prompting you to arrange and pay $30 for a zoom meeting for any questions or inquiry. What is that?Even they get the documents from international. They never informed (email that they got it at least) they notified after 3 weeks . Where you were trying to find out if the documents was lost or received.I just wish The PA BON will stop using this CGFNS for CES. Un efficient service!Zero star rating !00000

My girlfriend (Sophie) has been working for months litterly since January on trying to get the documentation sorted to move from being a nurse in the UK to nursing in the USA, so that she can have a Job and join me in Atlanta.all that seems to happen is they say they dont have documents constantly and Sophie sends them over again, they dont seem to have an idea of what they need or what they already have.... they make it a massively difficult process for no apparent reason. and when you try and call them directly no one picks up the phone.

Review №48

Its a very irresponsible organization. They deleted by records without my notice and now i cant obtain a license in another state because going through another verification process is not easy once you have no ties to your foreign country any more. They failed to tonify me about deleting my records and extremely unreliable, also impossible to reach. I cant believe so many states rely on this organization, its a shame. I am very disappointed in this organization.

This is the worst organization , very bad customer service, speent on hour the phone before someone very rude responds and was very rude and didn’t answered my question. After 6 months of application they lied about my documents, some agent said I don’t have any documents on file, some said my school didn’t send my transcript while I have every copy of the documents that was send to them. Finally they sent my report incompletely to NY.

If I could give this place a 0 star review I would ! They are the worst to deal with ! They are NO help with my documents ! They take too long to process documents and give no detailed explanation whenever I ask for help about something ! No give or take ! No study guide or book, and I also purchased 2 of their self assessment tests ! They were both the same ! Don’t purchase them ! It’s a waste of your money ! I like how they have their own workers trying to up the stars on their google reviews ! This place gave me hell !

Review №62

Super slow on the process. I’ve applied for a CEP last Sept and still don’t have my license (it’s March now). Every document take 5 weeks to be verified. And if there is anything wrong it take another 5 weeks to send out a letter to inform that. Customer service representatives are usu condescending and rude (except for a couple). One time I had a lady who didn’t listen to my question and kept reading things off from a script. I got so frustrated. Wish there was another third party that verifies foreign licenses. I would never want to use CGFNS again. Such a bad experience.

I spoke to a representative today, 01/29/21 around 7:30 am to 8:am PST her name is Connie she is from Applicant Navigation Service dept. Apparently, she was very rude and incompetent and inefficient. She is kind of yelling at me. I was frustrated with whats going on with my application but all she has to tell me was my request was still on pending and that she cant do anything about it to help me but to send another f/u with another dept. I understand that there are things that she cant do but she couldve told those to me in a nice way and not yelling at me. I hope this matter will be escalated to her manager.

I use CGFNS service for visa screen process and have used in past also. I always had an excellent experience throughout the process starting from signing up for service, calling support, sending requested documents and until getting my certificate delivered at home. Their customer service and support staffs including Mercadez, Migual, Alexis, Kathryn are the best, very professional, easy to approach, super helpful and very prompt in their response. CGFNS have completed my visa screen process in lesser time then expected. I am highly satisfied with their service and have recommended several other friends to use their service and would continue to recommend in future. I strongly recommend CGFNS for their services, being with CGFNS you are in right hands. Thank You!

Extremely upset, they decided to recently change the login website to confirm your email. In addition to confirming your email they ask you to write the CGFNS ID number. Some how the ID number that they provided me with and that I have been received correspondence from them for the past 4 years “does not match the ID number in their system” so now I have to call CGFNS number M-F 9:30 to 3:00pm and wait in the line for a zillion of hours until somebody decides to take my call.Way to go CGFNS I could not expect anything else from you !!!

To anyone out there, CGFNS is the best for you as it has been for me. Why? Because1. They keep constant communication with you to make sure you are both on the same page and to remind you of what is expected of you.2. They have simple and easy steps for you to get the services you need.3. They are always available if you need to communicate with them about your services.4. Their response is usually quick and precise.
