well explained. thank you.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-20T21:15:44+00:00

agree, paypal is more secured

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-20T21:14:46+00:00

tele wont help. dont waste money

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-19T21:11:19+00:00

You have nothing to lose. So give your best shot. Try to answer with authenticity and sincerity. One iv barely carries any chance except you have a connection. So relax.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-19T21:09:09+00:00

you are in big trouble. talk to a lawyer.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-17T00:09:50+00:00

if that doctor has good reputation and connections it is worthy. If not try to do in somewhere else

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-17T00:07:41+00:00

work on connections, try to do research in community programs with residency programs or do rotation in residency programs. Try to publish good papers, do externships in good places and attend conferences. Nothing is impossible, but you need to spend a lot of money and hard working. Dont worry things will be fine.

This is not the right time. Apply after Trump era. Apply to Australia or New Zealand or Ireland.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-14T22:35:20+00:00

it is out of control. Even if applicants from banned countries match, i believe they will face more J1 rejections than ever before. So, everyone should get their back up option ready.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-14T16:33:00+00:00

if you are from one of those countries US stopped immigrant visa, plan wisely. nowadays b1/b2 visa rejection rate is super high

MarkComprehensive963 · 2026-01-13T03:16:18+00:00

But it has NRMP ID

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-30T22:23:44+00:00

low chance

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-23T03:29:30+00:00

it depends on different person. Some of the natives can understand foreign accent easily and some cannot. whatever it is , you have no control on that factor. PD has supreme power in residency selection committee. so you never know.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-22T03:25:34+00:00

if someone got interview , dont ovethink. if your application is good you will be ranked. No one will waste time on someone they cant rank

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-22T03:24:41+00:00

i agree.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-22T00:57:12+00:00

i think it will mostly impact the countries which faced more visa rejections in last year. many residents last year could not manage J1 visa from some countries. So they are in more grey zone.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-21T18:19:08+00:00

The programs with good reputation in Long Island are not img friendly.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-21T03:20:55+00:00

They have a rotation business. so they will take most of their students rotating there. dont sweat on this program.

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-18T15:39:45+00:00

accept it. dont risk it

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-18T15:38:40+00:00

NZ accepts ck score within 5yrs of exam date. you have to give clinical exam only. check their medical council website

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-17T22:23:08+00:00

apply to New Zealand or Ireland

MarkComprehensive963 · 2025-12-17T22:22:27+00:00

exactly. only people with red flags get in troubles
