apply for visa as soon as U can, it may take up to 3 monthes or more,but sometimes 2 weeks any clinical or reseach work is better to B in USA, but having it outside USA , better than having nothing just as the british wisdom : half a leaf of bread better than nothing!!!

Hi Rohitrohitsms You have time on your hand but no time to waste.As suprabood said apply for visa appointment as soon as possible because of appointment delays.Your step 1 score is a good one and you should not have any problem with visa. Also obsership has no real advantage for visa or CS ,but you can try to get one for the purpose of Letter of Recomendation which will come in handy in getting residency interviews. Also try not to write in caps.
