Probalem you have I sure you aware is that you spent 13 years since med school and havent done a residency in anything so no board certification.
I think because of this even getting a job in other countries such as Gulf etc wont be easy...why didnt you try for US say 10 yrs ago maybe then you would have got it I feel.

If you have IVs in all 4 matches, maybe your issue is not so much in your application, but in your IV performances. I found 3 different English tutors and met 3 times a week, and practiced to speak English with an American accent, and speak more naturally like the Americans do. I started this 4 years ago, when I started preparing for usmle step 1. That money was well worth it. I also paid money to do mock IV before the match, this match, I did total 20 commercial paid mock interviews, before I went on to my real ones. That money was also well spent. They corrected many of my expressions and improved my response. I also scheduled two least favored programs to be my first and 2nd IV, so they are my warm ups. These steps definitely improved my IV performances. Just some food for thought.

I can understand what you might be going through... If you want to practice medicine in another country.. The best option is carrabians...
It's next to impossible do practice medicine in any European country.. You can try Australia or New Zealand, but it's a lengthy process... Exams are not as tough though.. Other option is Canada.. Which is again very tough.

I dont know what other people in my situation are doing ? I think i have to give up, i dont have any solution.
