737pilotguy,
Interesting info about your visa experience.
What would be your target job here in the USA ? I assume you understand how the seniority system works here ? Despite your excellent qualifications, you'd start as a junior F/O no matter where you got hired; that doesn't suit everyone who might have come from a different system.
And the cases of rapid upgrade at the legacy carriers here, while remarkable, might turn out to be ephemeral at best when the economy takes its inevitable downturn.
In any event good luck.
