I do not know the reason why Walgreens pharmacy turned me down. After submitting copies of visa, passport, transcript, and etc, they sent me a rejection letter.

Arizona board of pharmacy personnel told me that I need H-1B visa to transfer my license. Being in a valid employment status is the law in AZ. Here is the dilemma. Employers want me to have pharmacist license in AZ before they do something. If I could not find a job within three months, my OPT will expire. If I get hired, I might extend my OPT until next year. According to Board of pharmacy,I am authorized to work as an intern but can not work as a pharmacist that I do not agree with them. I am working on it with ISS.

I do not want to move to get a job since my family is here in AZ. I had to be apart from my family for about a year, that was really painful. Staying at home mom (of course, unemployed) seems to be better than the family separation, but I will keep trying to transfer my license.

Now, I am getting responses from employers but my visa status is a big problem.
