Default Old medical graduates & US residency

Dear all, I am an old graduate I graduated in 1990. I have completed intermediate level specialisation in general surgery, now intend to go to US for resdiency. I am in the middle of USMLE prep. I wanted to know from you people that what are chances of getting residency at this age and experience.

campoacosta,
Thanks for reply, this was really reassuring. Do you have any friend in my situation or any member in my situation. Getting to know people with similar situation is always reassuring.

Yes, I have a good friend OBGYN, graduated from Mexico, He was working in a good hospital, took the board and now he is finishing residency in Philadelphia. There are a lot of cases like you around, so do not feel alone.
There are hospitals that do non like FMG, but others do.
I think In USA the age do not matter. never is late. this is the country that allow any good dream trough a high quality work.
