Honest Opinion- Should I give up the thought of Match 2027?

I am a non us IMG from India graduated Jan 2026

Credentials step 1 Passed/step 2 ck 250
6 months USCE (Jan-Jun 2025),
Abstracts plus posters= 16
Publications in pubmed= 9
A month ago I received an invite for a short term scholar position in Texas for 6 months but my US visa was not granted under 214 b and the VO said your letter has insufficient information pointing to the DS 2019

Two reasons I have (fairly influenced by the opinions of several seniors from my med school)

  1. 250 is no longer a good score to even get you to IM
  2. I fear my J1 clinician visa will be rejected as well

I understand that Reddit is not the best place to obtain advice for this
But at this point any validation or advice is better and appreciated rather than my overthinking

Thanks in advance
