I believe you need to complete Step II CK/CS to receive the Letter because they are required for US grads before they start residency in CA, so I would imagine that IMG"s will need them too before they start residency. Besides, you need them for ECFMG cert and besides the Letter, you will also need ECFMG cert before you start.
