I am currently on J1-research (valid through Jan 05) and have been offered a clinical fellowship position. Am awaiting CS results to get my ECFMG certificate and join the program.
My question is:
If I only get my Step 2 CS results by Dec 04 end, will just applying for DOS petition in Jan-05 ( i heard that processing might take more than 2 months) keep me in valid status.
Also can anyone who is well informed let me know if more than 4 years of experience as a Clinical Fellow in US make me Board Eligible and allow me to practice in US ?
Please help.
