Nona, if you do not have a visa that let you work legally in the USA, it is a waste of time, because no one will sponser a visa for a technicians. You can find all te information in PTCB | Home Best wishes. >>>Hi I'm Jonas, I'm a Filipino Pharmacist and a holder of a non immigrant (tourist) visa. I would like to apply for a pharmacy tech certification board, I already checked the site (ptcb.org) regarding on how to apply for CPht but still don't know where to start. I want to ask you several questions like: 1. I have a post secondary (university) degree, do I still have to get my highschool diploma and form 1-37? 2. Where will I submit all the requirements once it was accomplished? 3. Can I use my passport card / non immigrant (tourist) visa to take the PTCB test? 4. Once I accomplished all and passed the exam, can I use my certificate as an eligibility requirement to seek for a job in CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens or Walmart, and they will be the one who will process my eligibility to work legally in the US. If worse comes to worst, and I didn't qualify to take the PTCB exam, 5. I'm planning to apply in Pennsylvania and I have checked the state requirements needed by the pharmacy tech and I observed that it does not require a national certicate like PTCB, it only requires a training. The question is, am I allowed to directly inquire to an employer like (Walmart, CVS etc.) to work there with regards to the fact that I only have a tourist visa. Any advice? Thank you so much, your reply is highly appreciated..

Hi, I just want to ask what are the requirements and qualifications needed to become a Certified Pharmacy Technician in the USA. I understand that being a US Pharmacist is a long process and I needed a 5 yrs Pharmacy course.. I am thinking of an option if I would apply and become a CPht in the US..

Thank you for your response @Recipe7, I want to know how can I apply for a student visa if I already have a tourist visa? thank you so much..

Hello there, by the way I'm Jonas, i'm a Filipino Pharmacist, I just want to ask if I'm qualified to take the FPGEE exam even if I only have four years Pharmacy course, I graduated last March 2012.. I would also like to ask if I can took up the remaining 1 year Pharmacy course in the US to make it to five years. I have learned that the US only allows the five years Pharmacy course prior to and after January 01, 2003. Thank you for your response..
