Read this FAR with attention to section (a)(3):

You've got the legal ability to work solved via your dad's citizenship.
As far as T & C, only you can answer that. There are some outfits with fabulous deals...and probably more with terrible deals.
With your experience and a green card you might just be legacy airline bait once you've got an FAA ATP (the seniority structure just is what it is). Do you have a 4-year college degree ?
The plan was that, to move as a Captain. I didn't know it was like that...sorry to say that but in my opinion is a bit stupid. As far as company policies are concerned I can understand, but by the government...seriously!?
Regarding the college degree, if you mean the University degree, I don't have it; I have the High School Diploma.
Many thanks for your help!
