Length of Time Applications May Remain Open, Time Limit for Receipt of Payment, and Refunds
Applicants applying for the CGFNS Certification Program, Credentials Evaluation Service and VisaScreen® will be given 12 months to meet the requirements of each program.
Orders for these three services that have not resulted in the rostering of an applicant to take the Qualifying Exam for the Certification Program, that have not resulted in the issuing
of a Credentials Evaluation Service report, or that have not resulted in the issuing of a VisaScreen® Certificate within 12 months of the application date will be expired.
Once an order is expired, an applicant has 12 months to apply to re-process an expired order and pay the fee associated with this service. Re-process orders will remain open
for 12 months starting from the date the re-process order is placed. A re-process order cannot be placed until the previous order has been expired.
Finally, CGFNS has a "no refund" policy for its Certification Program, Credentials Evaluation Service, Credential Verification Service for New York State and VisaScreen®
Certificate programs. Individual consideration will be given on a case-by-case basis if a refund is necessary due to a CGFNS error.
