Asmi, 6 weeks refers to the normal waiting period, after first results are scaled and released. We will be waiting much longer, unfortunately. Where did you take your CS?

Not having CS results means no ECFMG certification...without which one cant apply for Step 3...is it true??!! Many hospitals offer H1 B visa on the condition of passing step 3 by dec 04/Jan05...so basically is it a no win situation!?

I Pray that you guys get the match THIS YEAR! I will be going for the match next year and I don't want to compete with you guys especially YULIA!! I would think that you will get interview with step 1 and step 2 scores, need to be ecfmg certified by match day. As for step 3 I think you can negotiate with them if they like you after the interview. Do tell them about your problems. I know of someone who had prematch in October for H1, they hold the seat for him until he cleared Step 3 in January. Good Luck to you all!! Especially ASMI, YULIA,DRKJIGS,DRSHAH,DOCSHAH and YOUNANI
