As it stands I have no right to live and work here but Im pretty optimistic if I could persuade an airline to take me on I could be granted a green card, and whatsmore as Im fulfilling a student visa right now it would probably put me in good stead for getting a green card

Thats simply not the way it works, you have to be preferably a US Citizen or at a minimum a green card holder to be hired by any US based airline, they’re not going to assist you in that regard. Plenty of ‘home grown’ applicants still



Not sure why you think having held a student visa gives you an advantage in attaining a green card either, one has nothing to do with the other
