  • 2 rejection in B1/B2 for Step 2 CS exam

    I am a gynecologist from India. I finished my MBBS in 2002 and I did diploma in Obstetrics and Gynecology and finished that in 2005. Since then I am working at different places as Gynecologist. My brother is a second year medicine resident in Illinois, US. This developed my interest to come to US. I gave my USMLE step 1 and got 250 score which is equivalent to top score (99 percentile). I applied for visa in Jan 2012 after my exam. During that application, I showed that I am going for my USMLE step 2 CS exam and observership in pulmonary medicine. I have a letter of observership from my brother's supervisor in US but it was not specific and the letter didnt have any dates. They refused my visa and said that Gynecology and pulmonary is very different field and the letter is not very specific too.
    Next time, I gave my USMLE step 2 CK in India and got good score again. I applied again in June 2012 and I was rejected again stating that I applied first time for observership and now for step 2 CS. I am married and have a 2 year old son also. I am currently employed in private nursing home.
    Thanks for helping me.

    On your first attempt , you should have only said sep 2cs without the mention of an observership.

    You have been denied B1/B2 twice, so it seems unlikely they will give it you in the near future
    for step 2 cs.

    The only way out of this is going for a dual intent visa ; H1b visa.
    Ask your brother to find you a clinical research assistant or a lab research assistant's job at
    his hospital and request them if they will sponsor you for an H-1b.
    With your good credentials , it is quite possible. A research associate/assistant's job that requires a 4 year bachelor's degree will qualify for an H-1b .
    Also a good thing is H1bs from an educational institution are quota (cap ) exempt.

    Once you have an approved H-1b petition, they can't deny you an H-1b at the embassy in India.
    Your previous B1/B2 denials won't have any effect on the H-1b issuance.

    Once you are there on an H-1b, you can take your cs and eventually transfer to a residency program.
