To apply for a U.S. residency position in radiology, one must usually have the following:-

Exams: USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2 CK, USMLE Step 2 CS before applying for a position in the U.S.

Paperwork: After obtaining the ECFMG certificate, most hospitals sponsor only the J-1 work visa. This has a two-year home requirement when it expires.

Good luck!
