[b]Any time when you are ready. YOU would need a month or so of prep. So, you can take it in the next couple of months.[/b]
when shuld i plan for step 2 ck?
[b]It depends on how you prepare and do on practice tests. Get over 80% in practice tests before you take it. It does not matter how long you prepare but aim for a good score. For 2009 match, take it before June/July 08 so you will be certified before applying. [/b] is clinical experience necessary?

For some programs, it is but for the most it is not mandatory.[/b] what shuld i require to go for visa and what precautions shuld i take? [b]Go to the consulate website and they will tell you what documents you need. Your scheduling permit for CS, any letters of invitation from family or friends and documents showing your ties back home such as properties etc. [/b] can i take step 3 if i write cs before may 15 so that the result will come and may be able to apply for 2009 residenc? [b]Yes, it is a better if you also passed step 3 for getting H1.[/b] what are the other that i can do whilei am still inindia [b]It is upto you. concentrate on USMLE.[/b]
how much time i will get visa
[b]It depends, many are getting 10 year multiple entry these days. All the best. [/b]
