Iam an IMG.my gc processing is in the finalstage.....

drmv

hi every one
my green card is in the finalstage of processing.Iam not in US right now but expecting to come us in sep on k1/k3.Iam passed in 2002, done with step 1[99/250] and step2ck[99/247].

I have a couple of qs which are bothering me .I wud be thankful if anybody posts a response for my qs:

1.My green card may get processed only after dec or jan 2006.My q is that in ERAS caf,in visa column ,do i need to fill it as immigrant or others and later update it?

2.would I be able to participate and get good no. of interviews from all the programs suppose if i take my step 2 cs in sep 3rd week?I heard ecfmg takes a minimum of 5-6 weeks for them to mail the result. so I wud get certified only in end of oct.Is oct too late for appliying ?

3.when do the pd's start their interview season?

4.wud the programs consider me as a lawfu lperma .resident in evaluating my application even though i would not possess a gc but only an ead by the time they call me for interviews.

5.I hate 'what are my chances qs'.But i presume this q is legitimate.I am aspiring for a radio in NY in 2006.Do i have to apply for transitional year programs and then participate in match in 2007 for radio or directly apply for radiology programs in 2006 .I heard that the transitional year programs are really competetive.I know good scores help me in getting interviews but my q is wud i be able to compete without us clinical experience or research for a good community radio program.[i dont know whether i missing any thing here]its not that i lack confidence in me but iam asking this q only to know the ground reality being an img and knowing that radio programs have killing competetion.

i know these sound like concerns rather than qs.Any help to ward off my worries would be higly appreciated.

THANX IN ADVANCE
