Hi Indospurfan,
Did you get sponsored by Walgreens?
Here is my situation, I finished both NAPLEX & MPJE ( Nov 06 & Feb 07) for Texas and didn't get H1B sponsor this year. My problem is that my both exam score will expire in 2 yrs. I have to wait 18 months to get H1B for next yr.
I can't complete 1500 hrs of internship in 6 months. If my scores expires at the time I complete my intern hrs after getting H1B, then I have to take Naplex & MPJE one more time and that too I am not sure whether I will get my H1B without valid NAPLEX score as you know Walgreens need all documents ready to apply H1B ( eventhough they don't acknowledge recieving it after you send as per their requirement).
In btn, I want to finish internship by volunteering, so that I don't have to take NAPLEX & MPJE one more time even after passing it. But I hear that big chains won't accept you for H1B sponsor if you do your internship this way. In Texas, you have only Walgreens, CVS and Walmart.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Upperna.
