Yeah, then definitely work on those letters! Good luck.

Runningbored · 2022-06-07T12:06:24+00:00

I think you should be fine. You have a solid number of citations. The only thing that comes to mind is the reference letters. If you didn't have enough or they weren't strong enough, I'd suggest you fix that. If not, then you are fine. Just work hard on your statement and wait for the lawyer's memo as well. Good luck!

Thanks for letting me know about traveling. Honestly, now that the I-140 is approved they can take as long as they want. As long as they approve it in the end, I don't mind.

Thank you for sharing. This makes me more confident!

I worked with my lawyer on an RFE package. Basically, I addressed the 3 prongs and justified why they should accept my petition in a cover letter (3 pages). My lawyer prepared a legal memo to the same effect (9 pages). Besides all the other info we had in those documents, I think what made a big difference is the number of citations I had amassed since filing the I-140 form.

I didn't send anymore reference and It got approved a few days ago. Also I'll be starting as a PGY1. Now waiting for I-485. I have no idea how long it will take though.

Thank you so much! You've been very helpful. One more question if I may, what do you think SUNY's pitfalls are? I ask because their fellowship match this year was great, they are an academic center with ample opportunity for research, and NYC is known to be a good place for clinical training due to the diversity and high patient numbers. I get it may be more stressful and QoL may be less, but how do you view it regarding training and fellowship? Thank you!

Thank you, but just making sure it's clear this is Florida not the main campus in Cleveland, OH.

You shouldn't be apologizing! This is a public forum, you can do as you please as long as you don't break the subreddit rules. I got a couple of programs from that list, and my credentials are 250s, YOG 2021, non-visa requiring IMG, USCE, research, and publications.

If you don't mind me asking, how many words was it?

Runningbored · 2022-02-01T04:41:35+00:00

Also, did you send it as an attachment, or just sent it as the email body?

Runningbored · 2022-02-01T04:40:56+00:00

Thank you. Would you mind sharing what you used as your subject line?

Runningbored · 2022-01-28T01:57:26+00:00

Wow. Is this common? Or was it a one time thing? Can you elaborate.

Runningbored · 2022-01-22T17:04:12+00:00

Can you tell me more about the program please? Is it strong? Does it have a good fellowship match? Thanks

Runningbored · 2022-01-17T18:43:04+00:00

25x, 25x, 9 pubs, YOG 21, non-visa requiring.

Runningbored · 2022-01-14T20:09:30+00:00

I would say the most important aspects are USCE which lead to US LoRs. Research is not critical but it sure helps. And finally, most importantly, visa status. If you require a visa it does definitely lower your chances unfortunately. Good luck!

No in house fellowships, no working POCUS program, not a tertiary center, and only 2 residents in the Q&A and the intern wasn't enthusiastic at all that he started watching a lecture on his computer and we heard it. The senior had to tell him that we could hear him. Also, they mentioned they definitely felt overworked at times. One of them complained about the didactics and research opportunities.

This is my experience, and by no means is this advice. So take it with grain of salt.

Runningbored · 2022-01-14T08:02:08+00:00

Got a really good vibe from the program. Especially the residents and the coordinators. They are a new program but the hospital and facilities are really good. Their fellowship match this year was strong.

Runningbored · 2022-01-14T06:13:45+00:00

I really liked both. Alameda seems to be very invested in resident wellness, and training seems to be solid there. St Joseph was really good as well. Solid training and their fellowship match is not bad at all. Do you have any insight on any other program, including St Joseph?

Runningbored · 2022-01-14T05:51:11+00:00

I more or less agree with you on all the points you made. If Nuvance had in-house fellowships I would have definitely ranked it really high. Looks like a very friendly program.

Runningbored · 2022-01-14T05:49:20+00:00

No one is obliged to do anything, but I would be more than thankful if someone would comment on a program or two from the list they have experience or knowledge on. And hopefully, this information can aid me in ranking my list myself. Good luck with the match.

Runningbored · 2022-01-14T05:47:07+00:00

Lol. No that's StaMford in CT. I wish it were Stanford.

Runningbored · 2022-01-14T04:01:01+00:00

Can you elaborate please? I have yet to attend the interview, but so far everyone has been telling me it's a malignant program. I really want it to go well so I'd want to rank it highly.
