I have spoken to some Agencies and as per them we can complete our Internship hours( after FPGEC) on visit visa as a volunteer work and the board will consider this work as the internship. Any of you guys have any idea about this??

 

please let me know your idea/experience Friends.

Pharmacy State boards require SSN before they issue intern licenses.

 

Employers/institutions should not accept volunteers without SSN...

 

All hours done before intern licenses are valid are not counted.

 

The only way for a foreign graduate to receive a SSN is through H1B visa.

 

To do volunteer work under a tourist visa is ILLEGAL. Both you and the company will be in trouble.

 

Those agencies who said that it is possible are just SCAMS. So beware!

I know a foreign pharmacist who finished her internship hours while visiting her family for 6 months.

And she asked the board to transfer her internship hours to the another state board which she has a intern license in.

I guess the boards or NABP don't care the applicants do their internship volunteerly or without ssn.

Am I right?

Is there anyone who has more detailed opinion?
