j-1 issue - ka_md

Hi guys,
I heard rumor about J1 issue during this pandemic will be a problem. I am afraid this will affect the programs' decision to take IMG for interview.
Do you guys heard of it?

J1 will be still sponsored.
The problem facing it is that applicant needs to renew it in yearly basis, renewal can last for few months for processing per the new ICE rule, which cause potential lag for applicants. ECFMG is working on appealing this decision.
