My country might be restricting their issuance of J1 visas for the more IMG-friendly specialties (IM, FM, Pedia, etc.) starting 2024 (which is my planned match cycle or for 2025 if I'm gonna need more time to boost up my CV). This means I basically have no choice but to go for H1b or just give up altogether lol. I was wondering what the chances are of at the very least getting interviews if I just choose in ERAS that I am only looking for H1b. Will I get filtered out automatically by hospitals?
Anyone did the same and still got interviews? If it helps, I'm interested in Internal Medicine. By the time I apply for Match 2024, I might not have my Step 3 results yet. Would it help me considerably get more interviews if I'd have them before I submit my apps (this would mean that I would most likely opt for 2025 instead)?
Thanks!
