Not true. Lack of U.S. citizenship is a lesser issue and J-1 work visas are not hard for a British citizen to obtain. Most of the issues relate to U.S. residency directors considering U.S. graduates before foreign medical school graduates, that's all.
Do well in the USMLE and, unless, you're only interested in the most prestigious specialties and/or institutions, you'll be fine.
