Really unrealistic chances but I want to hear your opinion

Long story short:
Non US IMG
Ophthalmology residency in home country
Step 1 2nd attempt 230
Step 2 CK 260
Step 2 CS pass
Step 3 240

Only 6 months (gap time)

Current research at a top 3 US Ophthalmology department

Will have between 6-7 publications by tentative application (next year)

Have an international ophthalmology award from an abstract

Have a really strong contact in an university (dean level) and 2 really prominent ophthalmologists in the U.S who will vouch for me and make calls

I really have read and seen all of the posts here and elsewhere, especially by prominent SDN members. I know my chances are 0.00001% and all of that but my main question is: have you guys ever heard of anyone from anywhere matching into ophthalmology with a step 1 attempt?
