Ny nclex-rn
 

For those residing in NY and have been approved for DACA:

Have you taken your NCLEX, or applying for it?
If so, question #22 under citizenship/immigration status which choice did you select?

The one that makes the most sense is choice H. Non-Immigrant (Temporarily in U.S).
On the blank space below for immigration status should I write: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (c33)?

It's a new process so it only makes sense as to why it's not included as a choice.

Any thoughts?
Any information related to this is very much appreciated.

What you said is exactly what i thought before reading that line. It seems like that is what you would have to put. I would suggest you go visit a counselor at the nursing school(s) youre interested in. Usually, they'll be able to find out who can help you exactly. Most hospitals / major clinics have a lawyer on staff who can better assist you.

I already graduated. This is for the licensure to work as a registered nurse. I'm afraid that they won't really be acquainted with DACA and it might delay my application.

I contacted USCIS and he basically said, none of the other choices apply to me except for the non-immigrant one. The board of nursing does not take care of any immigration status questions so they'll refer me back to the USCIS.

I have a lawyer but he's not familiar with the licensure process.

I was supposed to graduate this december but I had to do a rotation to SD psychiatric facility and i didnt want to risk driving up there because there is a checkpoint on the way so i stayed one semester behind :(

I know how you feel. I graduated a year ago but didn't take my boards because of the SSN. I hope you get approved real soon.
