What are the options if you go unmatched on a J1 visa? Do you have to do a waiver and re-apply in 3 years? Can you quit the waiver in one year and re-apply? What are all the options to re-apply in one year?

Exams completed. ECFMG certified. No gaps in between and have remained consistent with work in the health field relative to gaining clinical experience. I have called numerous programs where the program directors/coordinators have straight said over the phone "I have not had a chance to check...
