I have passed all the usmle steps including step 3 within 7 years period.Unfortunately, I could not get residency because of low scores of 76 and 80.Is it possible that I could retake step 1 and step 2 CK.If yes,what are the steps for it to get permission.

fouzia,
the only way you can retake step 1 and step 2 ck is when your score expires 7 years from when you took the exams. otherwise, you have to stick with these scores. try to get some USCE, research, etc. good luck.

yeah they giv 5 year multiple for externship/clerkship,i kno so many of ma juniors who got it in their 3rd,4th and final yrs.
u can also apply for research asssistant job which sponsors visa and this way u can get H1,google research assistant and apply for each n every vacancy and will get an interview call atleast from some place,meanwhile apply for free or paid externship/observership in a good university hospital and u will get visa for that.
Good Luck
