2.Covering letter or requisition letter
3.Photocopy of your passport name page
4.written assurance letter..the format is available at the following website

Addressas of 30.03.2006)

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare
Nirman Bhavan
New Delhi 110 011.
phone no: 0(91)11-2306 1945

Approximate duration:takes anywhere between 2 days to a week.

Step-4: To get form DS-2019 from ECFMG..Follow the steps..

step-5: Read the fact sheet and go through the application materials under
ESVP in the webpage www.ecfmg.org

step-5: Take a print out of the application materials from
www.ecfmg.org/evsp/evspicln.pdf

step-6: Fill section-A of the application form only.
One clarification: 10.Health and Accident
insurance.Mostly this is sponsored by Hospital.if
not we have to purchase private coverage.How to do
it? Any Inputs will be appreciated.Check with the
program coordinator.

step-7: Prepare the following Documents:
1.Signed Letter of offer
2.Application form for initial sponsorship(with section-A
filled)
3.Statement of need
4.Current C.V (it is preferable to use new one,as it
requires history to date..ERAS cv may not be up to
date)
5.Copy of passport name page
6.200$ administrative fee(check or Money order
payable to 'ECFMG'..or else pay by credit
card..www.ecfmg.org-OASIS-Financial account
summary-Make a payment On-line)
7.Return Airbill for expedited delivery to the TPL(mostly
Program Co-ordinator)
How to get this????..plz add if you know it..
8.if you have any dependent,fill the J-2 dependent visa
sponsorship application

Some Additional Documents which the program
coordinator may ask fordo not mail originals)
1.Medical school transcript
2.Medical school diploma
3.Ecfmg certificate
4.Dean's letter(if not included in ERAS file)
5.Two letters of recommendation(if not included in
ERAS file)

step-8: Send the above documents to the TPL(Program
Coordinator) Not to the ECFMG.. Preferably by
Courier as time is the key to get the DS-2019(as it
takes 4-6 weeks).
DHL gives 50% concession for University related
services..takes generally 3-4 days to reach the
program coordinator..

step-9: TPL(Program coordinator) will review the filled
section-A and fill the section-B.It is they who send our
application forms to ECFMG..Hope i'm right..

step-10: After 4-6 weeks,ECFMG will send our DS-2019 form
to TPL(Program Coordinator)..It is for this purpose
we have to send the return airbill so that it can reach
the TPL faster..ECFMG is not authorised to release
this directly to the applicant.

I have posted it from elsewhere. Anyways, check whether all this is the same.
All the best
