Hello/Salam everyone.
I have a query. I am done with Step 1 & CS, CK is due in July IA. Should I get the token now or wait until I'm done with CK?
How much time approx. will it take for the documents to be uploaded if i start the process in August?
Also I'll be ECFMG certified after my result comes in SEPT 16 & the certification takes another 2-3 wks, so will this affect my application? As most programs want applicants to be certified before applying..
Please give your sincere advises.. Thanks alot
Good luck everyone. May we all get what's best for us Ameen. Happy-2

Step 2 CK: 247
Step 2 CS: Pass on 1st attempt
USCE: All my core rotations, and currently doing all my electives.
Visa: J1 needed, Canadian citizen.
YOG: 2015 from a Caribbean School

Hi guys, I am applying for FM too this year.

Step 1 = 242, first attempt
Step 2 CK = 228, first attempt
Step 2 CS = Pass, first attempt
YOG = 2013
3 months of Observership

Does anyone have a list or is making an IMG friendly list of FM programs? Is there any whatsapp group? If any of the above, count me in!!
