I am currently on J1-research (valid through Jan '05) and have been offered a clinical fellowship position. Am awaiting CS results to get my ECFMG certificate and join the program.
My questions are:
if i only get my Step 2 CS results by Dec 04 end, will just applying for DOS petition in Jan-05 ( i heard that processing might take more than 2 months) keep me in status. Can I join the program immediately on get my ECFMG certificate even without having my DOS petition approved ?
Please help.
