Cleared FPGEE and Toefl..but ?

[ss16]

Dear forum people,

I am in J1 visa right now working as a postdoctoral fellow. I cleared my FPGEE and took toefl on May 30. I got 24 on speaking part but i requested for a rescoring and i got 26 today.

My concerns are
1. Should I request/call the toefl people to send my score again to fpgee people ?

2. Can I able to use my current J1 visa to take internships ?

3. Is there any time limitations for internship hours ? (i.e can i do internship beyond the required time period until i clear my NAPLEX ?)

Hi!
I THINK YOU SHOULD RESEND YOU toefl SCORE tp NABP.try try to find job so you can get H!B visa.I do not believe you can be intern with J1.Wait for you cetificate,get the internship paper and look for a job and H1B visa if you can.
Best wishes!

ETS will send the new score to NABP automatically. You may call NABP to confirm with them when you receive your paper score report from ETS.

2. Can I able to use my current J1 visa to take internships ?

Not sure.

You should contact your state board of pharmacy. Different state has varied requirements for intern hours.
