Hi,
I am new member to this forum. I am glad that I joined this forum.
I am a foreign pharmacist with FPGEC, currently in US as a Student. But I would like to pursue my career as Pharmacist, so can I drop my studies and go for H1B. Is this legal? Will any employers process my application?
Also, should I tell the employer that I will be dropping my studies, once I am issued H1B. Will they consider me. Is there anyone in this forum with similar situation. Please suggest me what to do?
Thanks in advance,
sivaji

If you are on student Visa then how can you work?
My understanding that student's visa let you work only on campus. Is that so?

Hi,
As I know, if you could find your sponsor, you could apply for changing your visa from F1 to H1B.
Many people also apply h1b visa in their country before they go to the U.S.
