Hi fftb,
It seems that you have lot of doubts abt your CA license.
First, let me congratulate for fpgee pass.
This is the tip to get your fgpgee cirtificate as soon as possbile. Never call them. Just send them a fax to nabp. Explain the fact that you are in need of certificate because of so and so reason like you got an offer from some chain store which require fpgee certificate......bla bla. Send a fax in every 10 days. If you call them thats not a record. But if you send a fax they will file your fax and its record for request.so they will send your certificate as soon as possible.
Next tip:
Never send your application to CA board with out your fpgee certificate.
If you get your deficiency from CA board it will take more time to process your application.
Once you send all your docs. If CA board happy with your documents they will issue your license. It will take 6-8 weeks. Uusually they send your license in 4 weeks
I got it in 4 weeks.
Next tip:
After sending your application ..wait for 3 weeks then you go to CA board website and go to verify license->intern pharmacist->enter your name, if your license is issued it will tell about your license no. they will update it everyday. So once the license is issued it will be updated on the same day in the CA board website. After one week, you will get your paper license. If the website says your license is issued, you can start your work as intern, need less to wait for your paper license.
I beleive this info will help you.
Thanks
Kumar
