Hi Pharmas,

I have green card and I don't need working visa.I finished fpgee but still have to take english exam and then I have to get the fpgee certificate and then state board licence......this whole process takes lot of time.Because of that reason only I asked about the information about Pharmacy technician licence.Anyhow I will stick to getting Fpgee certificate and nomore shortcuts.

I really appreciate your help in this.Thank you.

yah i know that long process too... if you apply for pharm tech. license it will also take a little time to get it and hopefully u pass ur english exams and get ur certificate fast... but if you think it will take u more or less 6 months before u get ur intern grad license go ahead and apply for the tech. license if you just want to get an experience in the pharmacy and i dont think it will add to your intern hours because ur only working as a tech not as an intern... u can contact the boards if u want to make sure... in my case i need to pass my fpgee which i need to take again in dec. because im done with my toefle and tse... goodluck to you...hope this info helps
