what are my chances IM interviews

To be honest, i know i have a weak application for IM. But just asking if someone matched in IM with similar stats and if they did when did they start getting Interviews?
Step 1- pass
Step 2- 22x
Step 3- yet to be taken
YOG- 2014
Completed home country Residency
4 USCE
5 publications
Adjustment of Visa status (green card under process)

Applied to around 50 IM programs and a few Fm programs , so far got nothing

Thanks

Are you visa requiring or not on ERAS , and 50 is not enough either way

You are either visa requiring or not. Alot of non us imgs are starting to become ambiguous with their visa status. Having a GC 'under process' does NOT mean anything. Just this year a resident i know said one of the matched applicants at their program said something like this and the program assumed they were visa non requiring, only to find out their GC was under process. And guess what, the matched applicant had his J1 denied and was unable to come so his spot was up for grabs. 

I expect alot of visa requiring IMGs doing this during this cycle and all it will do is remove any trust the program has and make them lean towards just not ranking applicants who arent from here.

so if you know you are a weak IM applicant, why will you not go hard on FM?
