USA residency straight from UK Medical school

[catmac]

Hi there,
I am really really confused and I am hoping someone can shed some light on things for me!

Basically, my husband works in the USA, and it looks like his career will stay here. (I am here for a year with him - thanks to a sabbatical from my Med School). I am going to do all the USMLE exams etc etc, but to apply for a residency, one needs a EMFMG certificate. When I look into this certification, to be fully certified (and able to apply to a residency) you need your final medical school transcripts. So does that mean it is impossible to apply directly from my final year in my UK degree to a residency in the USA, as I would not have graduated, even if I have completed all the exams?

So am I stuck definitely doing an F1 position in the UK just to wait for my medical school transcripts?

Thanks!
Cat
