A reader of this blog just informed us that registration with Pearson Vue was needed before the Eligibility was issued. So, if your CES report has been issued or, at least, when all the documents needed for the CES is already complete, you may want to register and pay the testing fee to Pearson Vue (http://www.pearsonvue.com/nclex/) so that your Eligibility and your ATT can be issued. Technically, you can register earlier with Pearson Vue since you have one year to get your Eligibility.
We have only learned about this through this reader's feedback because, in our own applications, we had registered with Pearson Vue even before our CES report was issued.
Once you get your ATT or Authorization To Test, you have three months (90) days to schedule your exam. The testing fee is $200, and if you're taking the NCLEX outside the US, there's an additional $150-fee.

But if you do not wish to register with PV at this time, you may still do so.
After you register and pay the $200 fee, you will be issued an ATT or Authorization to Test. This can take from a few minutes to more than a week, depending on the response time of CTS and IDFPR. Once you get your ATT, you can call the Pearson Vue hotlines to schedule a testing date. Have your ATT and credit card ready when you call as they will need to charge the $150 at this time.
congratulations on getting the CES report done.
As for the Visascreen, remember that the requirement for the VS is (1) a passing English score (either IELTS or TOEFL iBT) and EITHER (2a)passing NCLEX score or (2b)CGFNS Certificate (via exam).
Just like with the CES, the license verification usually takes the most amount of time, but once that's done and all the other documents are ready, a VS can be issued very quickly in less than a week.
