The residency progran (GME) office of the program you got selected to will do it. Don't worry. This is such a lousy visa that you will have no problems at all with your COS.

Just go to www.ecfmg.org and print out the application form. You can call ECFMG with any questions you would have as they would be sponsoring you.

Make sure you get "letter of need" from your home country. This is the part that takes the longest.

You'll change status for 1 year, as J1 is for year and renewed every year.
