Yes, we are still working on the US residency thing. Our next step should be the interview, which I kinda wish would happen while I’m 8 months pregnant… : )

The 60-day timeline they quote is nice because I would really love to have this all sorted out before interviews finish this fall/winter and rank order lists are submitted by medical school residency programs in February. After speaking with a few programs at the Family Medicine conference and researching information online, it is clear that having a permanent resident green card goes a LONG way to improving the chances of an IMG matching in a US program.

I find it slightly ironic that at the pace this process is moving, our son will have a US Social Security Number before I do!
