Neutral MSPE in ERAS
There are some candidates, due to various unavoidable reasons, cannot submit MSPE to ERAS. ECFMG provies 'neutral MSPE' for them. This is from ECFMG website :
If you are unable to secure the MSPE from your medical school, you must indicate this on page 12 of your Common Application Form (CAF). A neutral placeholder letter will be provided in place of the MSPE. The placeholder letter will be provided to all of the programs to which you apply, and will state, “This is in lieu of an MSPE.” This… Continue

New ECFMG rule regarding Application Process for IMGs !
Hello fellow USMLE takers..
I woke up this morning and saw a quite panicky mail from ECFMG stating that my Certificate of Identification (CIN/ Form 186) has been invalidated. Well, that was scary ! (I think most of u had the similar experience)

First of all, all those who have final ECFMG Certificate- Don't even bother reading this post… Continue

Extend Stay on Visitor Visa !
Hello folks... Hope this post helps to answer some queries of fellow IMGs.
Assuming u r on visitor's visa (B1/B2).. u can apply for the extension of the stay.. ur stay can be extended upto max 6 months from ur previously validated stay at the port of entry, if u give a valid reason (like appearing for residency interviews, doing observerships/externship or even attending marriage of ur close cousin ;-), it can be anything as long as u can prove it). U will have to pay some fees and fill up form… Continue
