RiteAid Sponsored Filipino Pharmacist Interns

[epi_exam]

Regarding the POEA processing, based on my friend's information. We will be assisted by FINEST ASIA RESOURCES, INC. (FARI). You can checked this website about the agency's profile: :: Finest Asia Resources, Inc. :: as I've checked their website, RITE AID CORPORATION was really included among their clients. My friend also told me that there will be a 500 USD processing fee for this next step, excluding the cost for the medical examination (8k - 10k Php).

But everything can change, depending on what agency is the choice of RITE AID for this year in granting the Job Order.

I'll keep you posted on every information that I can gather. Please also share your information to our Kababayans.

Yes according to POEA regional office in our place, they gave me the name of the agency Finest Asia Resources, Inc to whom I will get in contact to process my papers. I already called them and they are asking a S500 dollars processing fee. That is why I emailed James Wicken to confirm the name of the agency but unfortunately told me to wait until end july or august... Anyways I cant go through with it because of the delay of my visa.....anybody who have additional informations please share...thanks.

hi epi!i would like to ask what did you write in DS-156 nos. 24 and 25? Where are you going to stay and to whom are you going to stay in the U.S?i'm a bit confused by this questions.thanks

[angeli]

hi kristein! You encountered some difficulty with your visa stamping right?does that mean that at this point it is still too early to have the visa stamping?when is the ideal date to schedule the visa stamping according to the consul?

I put the name of my friend to where i am going to stay. I included her address and telephone number.

Hello angeli, the consul said to return my passport through mail by late august or early september. I cant say it is the best time because some have their stamping successful. I guess it depends upon the consul who will interview you. I will try sending my passport 2nd week of august though because we still have to process papers at POEA.

Can i also ask you the same question i had for epi.DS-156 nos. 24 and 25 what did you fill in that question?where are you going to stay and to whom are you staying in the U.S.?

Hi Angeli.
CVS accomplished DS 156 & 157 for me and sent them along with all the docs. They placed "TBD" on Q24 and the name & contact number of authorized HR process specialist of CVS on Q25.
I think it will work either way. Good luck!

Hi Winona! Thank you for responding to my question. Thanks for the infos."TBD" is the address of CVS main office? Can i ask if you applied in CVS here in the Philippines?Because i thought CVS is not entertaining pharmacy intern right now?Congrats!
