Re: Couple of questions
1- My cousin is visiting these days and he has a prescription from Pakistan for a nasal spray for his daughter that's not available in Pakistan. I went to CVS yesterday and turned out that they don't honor international prescriptions by law. It has to be a US based doctor prescription. My question is, how do people go about getting medicine in such a case if that medicine is not available in Pakistan? Would they go to a doctor here in US and get that on prescription? But then on the other hand a doctor in US probably won't write a prescription unless he/she examines the patient first hand, which in this case is not possible since my cousin's daughter is in Pakistan.
2- Pakistani authorities issue an "internation driving license". Can that license be used on temporary basis here in US in case of someone who is just visiting US for few weeks like my cousin and need to drive? My guess is that probably not since US has its own specific laws etc and they make you pass couple of test (written and driving) before they give you a license to drive on the road. Has anyone gone through this or know someone who used such an international license issued by Pak here in US without any trouble (i.e. they got pulled over and upon seeing the Pak internation license the officer let them go).
Thanks.
You can use the driving licence till 1 year after entering US. I did the same. Just make sure that the licence has information printed in english else you have to go to a goverment recognized translater (librarian) etc to make it convert into english language.
