Has anyone got H-1 for intern pharmacist position in Maryland ?

[Natalie]

Hello everybody,
I am just wondering if anyone on this Board has managed to get, or heard of someone who got H-1 visa to work as an intern pharmacist in Maryland or Virginia state.
I know that your chances of visa approval depend on the state. Please share your experiences with H-1 application if you have any. Did you use a lawyer ? Or is it enough to get the employer to fill in the papers ?

Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Thanks for the information Ramesh. I appreciate.
It\'s funny though how they say that supermarket pharmacists are the happiest pharmacists. As far as I know, most of the retail pharmacists in the USA are not happy with their jobs But I guess we cannot afford to be very picky at this stage.

Hi Natalie,

I am happy in working in a retail pharmacy.This is my second year
as a retail pharmacist.Flexible.More pay here than supermarket pharmacists.
Off course it depends on one\'s personal interest.

It\'s nice to hear from a retail pharmacist who likes her job.
Which chain do you work for ? Do you have to work in a stressful "fast-food" type of environment ? Do you have decent meal breaks ? Did you have to deal with difficult customers ? What about the low tech/pharmacist ratio ?
These seem to be the main complaints I hear from the practising pharmacists. I wonder what\'s your opinion on this...

I enrolled for the FPGEE examination in Dec’2000. As many of you I’m presently waiting for my ATT number in order to get my Pharmacy Intern Permit.
Can anyone inform me if I will need to send another set of documents from my University to the immigration attorney when my future employer applies for my H1B visa?
Thanks.
