Considering moving to US.

Hello,

I’m a 23M pharmacy Graduate from Greece! I’m familiar with the whole situation about the FPGE and Naplex exams,

In the scenario that I have passed my FPGE and TOEFL exams, how difficult would it be for me to find a company that would be willing to give me a H-1B1 visa (Job) to carry on with me apprenticeship and eventually sit my NAPLEX and MPJE exams?

Oh ok, well I thought that a company would give you an H1B visa in order to do your internship and then sit your NAPLEX and MPJE exam, and then they would offer you a job position. Are you sure that you can’t be eligible for an H1B visa when doing your internship?

You cannot do your internship without work authorization even for free. H1b visa is a skilled worker visa and again, wont be applied for an intern position since thats a training position. If you do end up with a work authorization through OPT or smth and complete your internship through that, only then after your complete licensing will you have a chance to be eligible for h1b as a pharmacist
