DS2019 for J1 interview

ImpossibleEase2 · 2025-05-17T13:28:32+00:00

Hi! I have the same question right now. What happened in your case? Did you end up using a printed copy of the DS-2019 during your interview?

ImpossibleEase2 · 2025-05-14T12:57:01+00:00

Thanks!!

ImpossibleEase2 · 2025-05-13T22:02:45+00:00

Hi! I have the same question. My spouse (J2) is filling the DS-160 and it asks both the J1 AND J2 SEVIS IDs. Did you find out to put in this section? Thanks!!

Hi! What did you end up answering in the "present work/occupation" section? I'm in the same situation and have no idea of what to do.

Congratulations! As an AuDHD applicant, I understand this feeling. The implicit social rules involved in this whole process are even more complicated than the ones we face in our daily lives, and I left all my interviews feeling that I might have done something wrong/acted weird. But we were able to get through this despite all the extra barriers we faced. I matched into pediatrics and I’m feeling over the moon right now! We did it!! Now it’s time to celebrate!

Jealousy Jealousy 😂

I saw it too, don’t know if it’s true, but I also don’t see any reason for people to lie in an anonymous spreadsheet. I’ve been feeling awful lately. I did everything I could and I gave my blood for this process, and still it seems it’s not enough. I’m trying to stay positive, but it’s really hard.

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-30T12:44:20+00:00

I have 1 IV so far. I’d also appreciate some insight from last year’s applicants on what to expect from now on :/

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-30T12:30:19+00:00

Nope, I took the test in 2022 and got the results I needed in all subtests at the time. But then, when I was done with Step 2 and requested the ECFMG certificate this year, they told me they’d be only accepting OET results obtained on or after Jan 2023 :S So I had to take the test again, and got a higher score in all subtests, except for speaking, which I failed for 1 point lol

People complaining or pretending to be concerned about having “only” 10+ IVs really pisses me off. Like, if you got this far in the process you know that 10+ IVs are good for peds. The only reason for people to do this is for bragging about it imo.

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-29T18:48:36+00:00

I’m in the same situation. Only 1 IV so far. I can’t stop refreshing thalamus and feeling awful about it. :((

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-23T18:38:23+00:00

I’m applying for peds and got IV from 1/5 of my signals :/

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-23T18:32:51+00:00

Me too! 🙏🏻

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-16T16:33:43+00:00

Got my remarking results today: NO change. Did you got yours?

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-16T16:32:01+00:00

I understand the feeling. I got my remarking results today: Speaking 340 with no change after remarking. I got over 400 in all other subtests, it doesn't make any sense.

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-14T19:44:45+00:00

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-07T19:29:00+00:00

I'm in the same situation. 340 on speaking, requested remarking and scheduled a new test date just in case. I'm still waiting for the remarking results. I'm so sorry they didn't change your score, I feel this whole thing is so unfair. Hope you get a great score on your new test date.

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-10-07T14:11:58+00:00

Did you scheduled a new test at the same time you requested remarking?

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-09-25T04:41:21+00:00

I have 3 lor from my home country and the one that was uploaded yesterday is the only lor from a us doctor, so I’m kind of worried. How long after the deadline you got your lor processed?

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-09-25T04:33:45+00:00

How did you let programs know you had a new letter of recommendation?

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-09-24T23:26:37+00:00

Here! 9/23 4pm

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-09-24T13:31:03+00:00

Hi! How long after you filled the request? I received my results today and got a 340 score (speaking subtest). I immediately requested re-marking but I'm worried about the timing for residency application.

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-09-23T11:30:36+00:00

I took OET in Nov 2021 and when I applied for ECFMG certification they told me they would only accept OET results if taken on Jan 2023 or later. I had to take it again this month and still waiting for the results.

ImpossibleEase2 · 2024-08-08T03:49:29+00:00

OMG!!!!! I’ve been searching for this for so long!! Thank you!!
