kindly guide me as to what to do after i get att no.i am planning to take the exam in april.
do any pharmacy sponsor for H1 to do internship?
kindly advise.
 
No it is not required to be in H-1b

It is not required if you work as voluntary intern. No pay. If you would like to get paid, you must have to go through H-1b.
 
should i start looking for a sponsor right now?

does pharmacies sponsor your H1 at this stage when i have just got my att no?
 
no

Pharmacies only need you when you are ripen fruit. ATT is nothing. you have to pass, FPGEE, TOEFL, TSE (TSE extremly difficult) and then you will become ripen fruit. company will sponsor that fruit.
 
in the meanwhile..

meanwhile can i work as a pharmacy techician on an H4 visa?
or to work as that i again have to have fpgee or an H1

You are not entitled to work at all while on H-4 Visa. You cannot be sponsored for H-1 as Pharm Tech., either. For now, go ahead and send me your resume and I will have one of my client employers sponsor you once you pass the FPGE and TSE.

Here are the process for foreign pharmacist to become Pharmacy intern

You must have FPGEE cleared. ATT number is nothing. You must pass the FPGEE exam, pass the TOEFL (550 average), pass the TSE (50). Then you will get the FPGEE certification. Dont think, once you get att number you are eligible for job. If you didnt clear your TSE, only this TSE test will hold you up for years to get the rquired score. By the way, you dont even need to go through recruiter. Once you get the full FPGEE certification. You are a star that time. Contact directly with Riteaid, CVS, Walgreen through their website. You will get a job offer within 72 hours. If you go through by recruiter, recruiter will get a piece of your salary. Company will offer you less salary becuse recruiter pursue company for cheap labor. So dont be happy after you gt the ATT number. You have to go a long way to become certified. It will take another year or so to become certified if you are extremly lucky and fluent in english.

Ash,
Now BPharms can go to USA and work there on a work permit i.e. go from here on valid H 1\'s and give their exams there. They keep working instead of waiting here for 8 to 9 months for their ATT#. Please be clear that you can work as a Pharmacy Tech\'n / Asst. before you clear/appear for your FPGEE.
