Lets see what others say,I think you will need to wait for 2010,as what I concluded from your post is that you have only done with step1 yet.unless you finish step2 at the end of july and cs till mid may and get everything ready for sep 2008.

you have to book in advance for step2 cs
in philli it's take about 3 months for sure prior to the exam
look for available date in the website. www.ecfmg.org
and what about prepare for the interview. that take place around sep to oct, i mean sending the application form.
it's up to you are IMGs or not, i think

you will get less interview places if you have no CS result on time

thanx a lot for ur reply.. why cs by mid may?I thought I had time until dec 2008?

I would say do CS first because it is harder to get a spot for CS if you failed. Then do CK. Do CS as soon as possible, do not wait that long. Then you may be able to catch it.
It also depends on your status. If you are studying full time, I would say it is doable for sure.
