Hi,
I am an IMG and I have just passed my CS. I wud like to know how to apply for the PTAL (if of course, I am eligible for it ) - in fact, all necessary details on PTAL. Will be grateful for any uptodate info. Thanx.
It is a big misconception that PTAL is out of bounds for IMGs who do not have a SSN.
I am from California and there are many IMGs who apply and get into residency with PTAL and all.
If you apply without an SSN and you are approved and all requirements are met, you have
1 year to obtain a SSN and send proof of such to the Board. Usually you will be getting a SSN by way of residency and visa sponsorship so within 1 year is very possible.
If you do not then your application is purged or just removed from the system.
SO, IT IS POSSIBLE!!!
