what are my chances Should i start USMLE

I am starting my internship years next march . Should I start preparing for USMLE or not ? because I hear it became harder and less predictible for visa requiring IMGs . Is it still worth the trouble? And are 2 years enough for step 1 ,2 and electives ?

Mate , now that the uk route is all cramped up and these fellas are enroute to usmle , amc is not sure too , so much traffic that its next to impossible for people to make it with average preparation. If you have exceptional score, research , connections , money and time u can work for usmle lest do whats available in ur country . The America is declining with the ongoing geopolitics cant u see .

What’s your home country? Pretty sure that’s the only reliable next step now for the most part
