If your long-term plan is to stay in the US, your best bet is to invest the 3 years into an internal medicine residency. Down the line, this saves you a lot of trouble getting permission to practice at individual hospitals (you want to do at least 2 years of regular residency in order to be licenseable in all states).

Given your prior foreign triaining, you might be able to get the american board of internal medicine to allow you to do 1 year of your training in the form of a fellowship. Being a fellow is intelectually more rewarding than a third year resident.

Immigration wise, you should talk to an attorney familiar with 'outstanding researcher' 'extraordinary ability' and 'national interest waiver' type immigration petitions. You might be able to get your green-card before you even come to the US. This would open worlds of trainintg opportunities not available to the average applicant who needs a J1 or H1b visa for their residency.
 
US to UK

I tired to work in UK a few years ago when I was stuck out of country due pending security clearance.

I was then diplomat of american board of Internal Medicine and was in third year of fellowship( not boarded then).

After extensive paperwork, all I got was recognition from GMC saying that I am exempted from taking PLAB but I still needed to take IELTS(english language exam). I could register with GMC to get medical license . They did not give any thing equivalent to MRCP. If i had chosen to work there, I could take registrar's position(equivalent to a fellow i guess).
