Thanks Amer-dh, But i have heard that for evaluation, we need to do something from india also. I mean to say that from my institution i need to get some particular format of my certificates. And i have done 2 years diploma from india,not B-Pharmacy.
I'm on H4 visa.
Thanks again for ur response

Please note that you are not eligible to get licensed in USA. You have to have a 4 year degree if graduated before 2004 or else a 5 year degree if graduated after 2004. You might have to join PharD programme here to get licensed. Hope this helps :)
 
hai,

For writing license exam in US you should be either b-pharmacy graduate completed before dec-2002 (4 year degree)or after 2002 dec u should be 5 year graduate .otherwise u have yo do Pharm-D.with D-pharmacy ur not eligible to work in US.

Actually I am facing the same problem I am a B-pharmacy graduate passed in 2003.
 
Hi gc-craving,

I'm sorry to say this but the fact is that 2-yr D.Pharm (Diploma in Pharmacy)has no value in US. You have two options, if you want to to pursue career in retail/hospital pharmacy in US: 1) Get admission in Pharm.D (Doctor of Pharmacy) program and after graduating in 5/6 yrs, become registered pharmacist. 2) Pharmacy technician Job which is very low paying job compared to Registered Pharmacist (and since you are on H-4, no body will sponsor H1B for Pharm. Tech job because minimum qualification required is just high school).

I'd suggest that if you have additional B.Sc. degree, try getting job in a Pharmaceutical Company in QA/QC/Operations. If you only have D.Pharm and no bachelor's degree, you may have to wait until you get GC or EAD because again H1B may not be easy without Bachelor's degree.
