as long as ur creds are verified by ECFMG, it take about 10 days from teh time ur notarised ID form reaches them...at least that how it was in my case...hope it helps

yes on the day u get email from ECFMG saying ur ECFMG certified, u can apply (its coz u need the date u were ECFMG certified to fill in the application) after completing the online form u have to take a print out of the ID form and get that notarised, yes its on the fsmb site.....good luck

nope u got it absolutely right...u'll have to apply thru the states which dont require residency, conneticut for some reason being the usual choice, but u can take the exam from anywhere and it is valid everywhere...

Thanks for the information, mukho. I know I can figure it out by my own, but too lazy to do that. You answered most of my questions.

Here's my experience if it can help anybody:
Applied online for Step 3 - April 11 (Friday)
CIN sent overnight - received April 14
Application approval email - April 21
Step 3 permit available on Candidate Website - April 24
about 2 wks from application to permit.

sweet, thx so much!! that gives me good idea, and how long after u got ecfmg certified to apply? i plan to do it immediately afterwads so i have it done, but didnt know if that has impact on timing of passing application, and so u dont sign up for 3 month period right or do u?? i had heard u dont, and as soon as u apply, u get 3 month period and take it during that time frame?
