Hello Kiyakiya....I had to undergo the same situation pretty much like yours. Since you are a Ph.D student, I suppose you have a graduate assistantship which allows you to work 20hrs/week as a TA or RA in your school. You are legally not supposed to work anywhere else outside even voluntarily, unless you are able to prove economic hardship at your school (ask your international student advisor). If you are really serious about completing your Ph.D, I think the best way out is try to get a H1 sponsor in a Pharmacy chain in your locality ( which is difficult as well!!) and when you are on your H1, try to complete your Ph.D part-time.
