Recommendation letters |
All the applicants need at least 4 recommendation letters. It is very important to get a string recommendation letter. When there is a tie between two applicants recommendation letters, can play a major role in securing a position. SO it is important to get strong recommendation than just a recommendation. The format for recommendation letters are described in the ERAS. Most of the IMG don't have a dean's letter but if you wish to have one, you can give the dean an idea how the deans letter looks like. The components of a dean's letter are: personal background information, statement regarding academic evaluations and research experience, extracurricular activities, interpersonal skills, communication skills and personality descriptions. American Recommendation letters are better valued than from native country.
You can help the writer to comment on all of these

Visa Issues |
Visa is the main concern of all the img's. Visa decides which programs would be applied by the IMG. It is also wise to choose the programs based on the visa sponsorship. It could save money, time and your future plans to practice medicine. Types of visas to practice IMG ‘s can obtain to join residency are
- J1 Visa
- H1B Visa

H1 sponsoring programs |
Why should you purchase the list of programs ?
Securing good scores alone are not sufficient to get into a H1 Visa sponsoring institute. To get into Residency we spend around $3100 for the exams (USMLE step 1, 2 3 & the CSA) and another $2000 for application and interviews. So I think it is very intellectual to spend another 20 $ for the best list of programs. I could have provided general information like whether or not a program looks into US clinical experience, Year of graduation, Minimum score requirements, research experience regarding thousand programs. But the main criteria we International medical graduates look at is whether or not a program sponsors H1 visa. Accept it or not it is the least negotiable criteria among other features a program offers. You might convince a program regarding their requirement for US clinical experience, USMLE score requirements, years of clinical discontinuity, ECFMG certification and much more. But bargaining a program to offer a H1 visa remains the most difficult task. I have compiled this list of exclusively H1 visa sponsoring/accepting/supporting programs in different specialties by calling hundreds and e-mailing thousands of programs. I am making it easy for you as u save time, energy and money by purchasing the list. Please do not donate this information to others as it would affect both you and me. If you are giving this list to other people you are in fact giving your residency position to someone else. It could turn out being a painful sacrifice. It would affect me in a similar way as I am gathering this money for another good reason. Well I wish you would make the best of it.
Good luck in your search for residency
Note : This list doesnot contain general requirements of individual programs like USMLE score limits, US clinical experience, Research experience, Year of graduation and other miscellaneous requirements, but contains exclusively the information about whether or not a program accepts or sponsor H1 visa.
