Anyone here successfully filed their PRC board exam application through a representative while abroad?

Hi everyone!

I'm a first-time taker of the Veterinary Licensure Examination (VLE) and I'll be in Dubai during the PRC application period.

I emailed PRC, and they informed me that applicants who are abroad may file through a representative, subject to certain requirements (SPA, passport copies, visa/employment documents, request letter, etc.) and approval of the Regional Director.

I'm a bit anxious since this is my first time taking the boards, and I was wondering if anyone here has gone through the same process.

A few questions:

• Were you a first-time board exam taker when you filed through a representative?
• Were you successfully approved?
• How long did the approval process take?
• Was anyone ever denied despite having complete requirements?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you were a first-time taker. Thank you so much! 🙏
