Thank you for the information! I really don't like the question as to why you have those year gaps. As an IMG and i believe it's like that for most of IMGs, it is really difficult to earn a living in america, pay rent, pay for exams, study at the same time and what else. With no money, you have to provide everything by yourself and it does take a long time to take the exams and prepare for the match. I wish PD understood the struggles and not have that mentality to judge an img for their 2 year (or more) gap.
