H-1 Visa. How it works.

[Laura.pharm]

Hello everyone,
It has been a while after I visited this website. I was preoccupied to get my TOEFL done. Guess what? I passed it! The score came up perfectly Speaking 28, Writing 28. Phew... Still can't believe it's over! Such a weird feeling.
Now my concern is H-1 Visa. How it works? Lets say someone agreed to apply for me for H1 visa. How to make sure that they will do it for me?
Please advice.
One more thing... I have to leave the country, because of my visa and my question is can they apply for H1 visa based on my FPGE certificate or they need intern license? I know that ( at least in Virginia) you can be an intern only for 1 year and during this year you have to get your 1000 hours done.
If I apply now, then I will not get a chance to complete my hours during the year, because I have to leave. So, how it works?
I really appreciate any advice,
Also, KNOCK if you can refer me to any law office who is able to answer to this question. Thank you in advance.

Hi Laura.Pharm,

Have you obtained your H1B visa yet?
Do we need a pharmacist intern permit before the sponsoring company make a H1B petition?
In such case, what post is the company sponsoring? An intern post is it?
