Hello everybody,
I would appreciate any suggestion regarding my problem. I am foreign pharmacist. Even though I was hired as a pharmacy intern by the pharmacy chain in US, I am officially a pharm. tech ( according to US license). I already passed my FPGEE in December 2007. However, I can't obtain my FPGEE certificate because I didn't pass TOEFL yet. So, TOEFL test is holding me back. There are no words to describe how angry I am regarding this Test. Anyway, my chain pharmacy promised H1 visa to me. However, I just received news that they can't do it for me because I am not a pharmacy intern, at least officially. The time is running for me. My visa will end up in August this year. Do you think that my tech. license would be a reason for H1 visa, while I am struggling with TOEFL? Should I try another pharmacy chain? I am really desperate...... an really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
