Dear All, I am from India. I completed my 2-Year Intermediate (from 2002 to 2004) which contains subjects like "Botany, Zoology, Physics, Chemistry etc." This is US equivalent of 11th and 12th Grades. (My Age: 15, 16) I completed my 2-Year D.Pharm (from 2004 to 2006) [D.Pharm = Diploma in Pharmacy] through which I acquired certificate as a "Registered Pharmacist" in 2006 for practicing pharmacy in my country. (My Age: 17, 18) A One Year Gap for Education (from 2006 to 2007). (My Age: 19) I completed my 3-Year B.Pharm (from 2007 to 2010). (My Age: 20, 21, 22) From 2010 to 2013, I am working as a Clinical Trails Associate in a Hospital and holds a relevant experience certificate for that. My spouse is in US on H1B Visa. I hold H4 Visa and I am still in India, yet to travel to US. I am planning to appear for FPGEE. 1. Totally, I had [2+3 =] 5 Years of Pharmacy Curriculum before completing Graduation. Am I eligible for FPGEE? 2. Can I show my "Intermediate" as Pre-Pharmacy course work in determining my curriculum length to ECE/NABP? 3. If required, my country provides me an option to transfer my "Registered Pharmacist" certificate to a latest educational degree i.e. from D.Pharm to B.Pharm. Is this step required? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hello, I am applying to register for the FPGEC, hopefully in April 2013. I am having problems trying to find a way to pay the FPGEC fee. I've been to the post office who said that they can't issue money orders to the US anymore. I've also tried HSBC who said they can only issue an international banker's draft. But the FPGEC bulletin says that the fee should be " in the form of a certified check, cashier’s check, or money order, payable in US funds through a US bank. The purchase date of the check or money order must appear on all forms of payment. Personal checks, bank drafts, and cash or other unapproved forms of payment will not be accepted. Your name, as it appears on the application form, should be shown on all payments." Does anybody how to go about getting either a certified cheque, cashier's cheque or money order from the UK (London) to the USA? Also are there any pharmacists based in the UK who have successfully submitted all the paperwork for the FPGEC? Thank you!

Hey I'm confused big time regarding this part of the application form, question number 18, the portion that asks for "SIGNATURE OF APPLICANT (as it appears in English)".. I have a formal document signature, the one that is even placed on all my application and license; and by signature i mean the one that looks like a distinct scribble of my whole name. Should i use that one or simple write my name with a formal curcive letter (like the ones i use in notebooks or when i'm simply writing)?:idea::idea::idea: i hope you can help me in this one. thank you.
