Hi There,
Did any pharmacist get Greencard recently or applied and in the process.
how long it will take for a pharmacist to get greencard or atleast get labor clearence in CA or TX region.
Basically how it is different or faster to a software professional.
Thanks in advance,
Rao S
 
no difference - the government has considered adding pharmacists to the so called " fast track" of green card approvals along with some other professionals of which there is a severe shortage in the US ( I think physical therapists and the like) - but have not yet done so. The only thing is that I think you would have less problems with labor cert. etc right now since there are plenty of US citizens software engineers available who are unemployed right now - but no one's ever heard of an unemployed pharmacist - thats for sure .
 
btw - we applied for gc on with my husband as primary applicant when we came here 3 years ago ( he is an engineer) - reason being that you cannot apply for gc as pharmacist until you are actually licenced in that state - and that process takes at least a year since in most states like in CA where I am - you have to complete 1500 or so hours of internship before you can take your board exam.
We are still waiting for gc -but I am glad we applied when we did - we would have had to wait at least an extra 9 mo to do it with me as the main applicant - and we would have been even further from getting it than we are now.

I applied in PA in 08/01 and got EAD and waiting for i-485 approval with ND 04/02. So it is much faster than software but i don't know if it is by chance alone.
