Please verify this for yourself with the fine ladies in the Asuntos Academicos office (in the rear-left corner of the main UAG building in CU, same floor level as ISAO/DAEI) but my understanding is that you do not have to have a professional license to go back via ECFMG, you only need the UAG diploma (ie, you are TRULY graduated at the same level as any other Mexican medical school graduate ready to start their independent career/further training). If UAG requires taking part of this exam to graduate as I think UAGDoc might have implied, then you'd be responsible to take it; if UAG doesn't require something, it doesn't matter for ECFMG purposes.
Having that beautiful Latin-calligraphied final diploma is a proud thing to have[1]; it's just too bad it takes so long to get it.
[1] And why does everyone look like someone just shot their dog in those diploma pictures? I understand they want consistency and seriousness, but jeez--it's like one sold their soul to have that piece of paper. Which, depending on how you look at it....
