Hi Silky,
I don`t know if every fellowship follows the same rules, but I have been accepted as a fellow without step 3. I am IMG and did residency in my home country.
I applied for a temporary state licence and for this you don`t need to have taken step 3.
I hope this help you.
Good luck.

Hi Brown,
It is theoretically possible to do a fellowship without doing residency in US ( the prove is the fact that I`ve got this position).
I looked at the specialty american association and read that in this case I was not allowed to join the match, since I am not board elligible, but I could contact the program directors to ask individual programs if they accepted IMGs to apply.
I have got 5 positive replies and applied (outside the match).
You can`t have a permanent medical licence without doing residency in US since you won`t be board certified, but this is not a problem, since I am planing to get back to my country after the fellowship.
