Hey BBB, I'm an IMG and my credentials were fine with ECFMG until they recently implimented final transcripts be verified as well (started 2/1/04) so if it wasnt for this, I would have my ECFMG certificate by now. My question is since I dont have my certificate yet, how will this affect me for the scramble? Im a US Citizen, IMG with board scores of: Step 1 231/94 and Step 2 245/99. Also, I have no clue on how to approach the scramble, and if I want to go to CA, do I need my California Medical Board Authorization letter by the scramble date?

Since you don't need a visa and your scores are good, you should be pretty well off for the scramble. Since the final transcripts is a new implementation, it's unknown as to how long this will take. But if you are just waiting on that, you should be set.

I don't know about the California letter, sorry
