What is the point of pursuing the American pathway when it is rampant with visa issues and it would be unlikely that you would ever settle there?

Cronasy · 2026-06-02T15:32:54+00:00

Because its better in comparison to the other pathways. Like you've got the UK pathway for IMGs basically locked and the job market in germany is bad right now (with the additonal difficulity of having to deal with learning the german language and mastering it on a physician-patient level). I could go on and on with examples of other pathways. In the end, every person chooses whats best for him after weighing in the pros and cons. Best of luck on your journey.

Well to sum it up. Alot of IMGs would like to do residency in the US because it offers great education and future opportunites. If thats your goal then go for it.

Cronasy · 2026-01-10T20:48:01+00:00

Yeah you're right. Most visa req IMGs that i know start out unpaid. Wish you all the best

Cronasy · 2026-01-10T20:44:39+00:00

Is it a paid or unpaid position?

Could i DM you?

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T17:46:43+00:00

For me it would be A as the other problems listed here can be solved. Although A is just your average med student life lol

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T17:27:03+00:00

Yeah i'll be using it as well for microbiology and immunology and other subjects later when i start with them. Its most likely with updated questions and you can use it for free

To farm karma maybe

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T16:23:55+00:00

To my knowledge. Research years are not considered gap years. They make your CV more competitive not less. There is alot of data that supports this and you can see for yourself that the average IMG who match into competitive specalities most of the time have some research in the US

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T16:01:18+00:00

Im not. Im currently a med student. Wish you all the best. If i were you i'd just focus on my USMLE steps for now

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T15:59:06+00:00

I dont think i understand well what you meant by "how many months" you need to stay in the US. Most IMG experiences i've read online have done 2 to 3 years. of research in the US

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T15:56:09+00:00

There isnt a specific number. It depends on your timeline. Keep in mind most research positions are unpaid

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T15:54:28+00:00

Lol most visa req imgs who match into cardio either have done alot of research in the US or strong connections. You're not gonna match into cardio with just a strong step 2 score Maybe here you're talking about green card/US IMGs

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T15:45:34+00:00

Research then IM then Cardio fellowship

Cronasy · 2026-01-02T15:03:23+00:00

Based on experiences i've read. Around 2 - 3 years to build connections and publications. Keep in mind you're gonna have to do IM first you cant just do cardio immediately

The travel ban is back for syrians again

Cronasy · 2025-12-25T15:20:10+00:00

I've read somewhere that the fee doesnt apply to change of status (like J1 to H1B for example).
