Hi,

Let me say thank you to all of you who are doing this great job of providing advise to all that are looking for it. I have a little question.

My H1 was issued in April 2001 for the first time and the secod time in 12/31/2003.It was issued with a Cosmetic company.

I am now trying for Pharmacy, I have cleared my FPGEE and now looking for an Internship in retail Pharmacy. After Internship for 6 months I will have to take NAPLEX and MPJE after that I will be a licensced pharmacist.

My concern is how long do I have to wait or whats the window that I have to file for my Green Card so that I dont run out on my six year H1 window.

One of the reason, I dont want to file it through my current employer cuz of the pay structure and also as Pharmacists are on Priority.

I will be grateful for any feedback/advise that anyone of you can give. Also what should be my line of action.

Sincerely,

MB
 
Is it even the case with PERM

Has PERM changed it in any way, even if you are getting labour certification in 2 or 3 months.

What if you cannot apply for it before the end of the fifth year?

I wont be able to complete my internship before the end of fifth year, can I apply Greencard as an intern? Can the status be changed later?

Do I have any choice?
 
When do my six years complete?

Is their any ambiguity in it?

Why is it I only have H1B till 12/20/06?

Really appreciate your help :)
