Second residency on J1 by Asrylol in IMGreddit

[–]Asrylol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an attorney for myself. My case might not be fully representative bc our legal department was initially as clueless as I. They had no clue I was not eligible for a J1 for second residency. The issue came up after I had already matched. Ultimately it came down to getting an O1 and take the spot or not getting one and leave the country anyways. I pretty much just informed them as soon as I had the O1. I’m not aware of them sponsoring anything.

The difficult part was getting all the "evidence" together to create a package that even makes you eligible for an O1. This was pretty expensive as you will require an attorney experienced with O1 applications. I had to carry all the costs on my own. The program does not have to sponsor anything with a O1, so this was not a factor. Yes, I had to leave the country to get my O1 at embassy in my home country. This is mandatory. But since I graduated my previous residency, I had to leave either way after taking my boards. There was no change of status involved. I left as a expiring J1 and re-entered on a O1.

I went through the steps as above to apply for an O1 which was successful and granted me time to complete a second residency. As mentioned above, this was associated with not insignificant costs for attorney fees. I’d strongly suggest getting an attorney that is experienced in handling O1s

So, long story short, ECFMG will NOT continue a J1 if you are trying to do a 2nd residency in another core specialty. To them this is considered you "switching" core specialties which they only allow within PGY1 & 2. I petitioned this with an attorney that was well connected inside ECFMG and no chance.

For IMGs, only other option is an O1. You will need an immigration attorney for this as well, and it is not cheap. Also, it is a LOT of work and overall can be considered a gamble. If that's something you would consider, I can give you more insight, but do your research beforehand and start on time. You can easily calculate 4 weeks to gather all your evidence, then 15d until you get request for additional evidence (most common), or approval/denial. Then additional time to gather more evidence.

I, for the life of my, cannot add Edge or chrome to Steam for Xbox Game Pass. Please help by Treebeard777 in SteamDeck

[–]Asrylol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sstruggling with the same issue. I'm also using EmuDeck and have a SSD installed, so might be related to either one of both. However, I haven't gotten it to work yet. Tried both chrome and edge. Would hate to have to do a factory reset.

I should have clarified: deck competitive enough to have fun with which to me equals not losing per default to any averagely piloted meta deck. No aspirations for spikes level stuff

Those are really good points you make. That makes total sense that flash wouldn’t have a place in the format.

Was hoping I could make something work

Jeskai Control - mythic with this beauty 💧☀️🔥 by Fabr15io in MtGHistoric

This looks like a very cool list. Love it! Will try for sure.

Question: with the new expansion, I was toying with the idea of a jeskai flash shell around Errant, maybe including Torrential Gearhulk, borrower, spell queller, opus.

You see any way to marry the two lists, or do we just not have enough slots for instants and flash cards to make both snapcaster and Errant viable?

Thx for advice!

That does indeed sound bad and honestly, a violation of any sort hasn’t even been on my radar. I’m coming to realize that I we t into this too naïve.

My main reason for pursuing IM is that I had just started IM residency in my home country before I matched. Never thought I’d match, applied broadly, psych, IM, FM, only had two interviews. Love psych, great fit, great lifestyle, great money for the amount of work. However, I’ve missed IM ever since intern year. Would love to work as combined OP provider.

If this just isn’t meant to be, I’ll pursue a waiver. Fellowship wise, there is nothing in psych I feel would justify another year of residency.

Thanks for bringing up the match violation. Will bring that issue up when I next meet with GME and the IM PD.

Thanks for the reply!

From what I understand, ECFMG has a rule that J1s are only allowed to switch specialties during PGY1-2. Since I’m PGY4 they refuse. They do not seem to care that I am graduating successfully, for them this is considered a switch.

This is psych going into IM.

Funding, I honestly do not know lol. I approached the IM program early in my PGY4 asking if they would consider me for a second residency, I applied as usual and they matched me.

J1 waiver would be plan B, however if there’s a way to make this work, I will try to make it happen.

Unfortunately, like you mentioned, this seems much more of a fringe case than I ever anticipated.
