I suppose after doing my flight instructor training I could try apply for jobs and that could help me obtain a visa, what do you think?
Also any way I could marry someone with a prenuptial agreement and have absolutely no affiliation to them but be legally married? lol
In the UK/Europe you'll need a class one for any kind of commercial work. You can get away with a class 2 for flight instruction but that's about it.
The US has 3 classes of medical and you can fly commercially on a class 2. You'd only need a class one to exercise the privileges of an ATP certificate, which is required to be a multi crew captain. (Simplified)
The reality is you'd probably get an FAA class one quite easily as it's just a basic eye test.
Right now there isn't a sponsored visa route into the US for pilots, but that could change. A prenup will cover your assets but you'll need to live with and poke it in her a few times im afraid 😜 - The Feds will spot a sham marriage pretty easily, and anyone daft enough to write it down on paper would probably end up up arrested/in prison/deported. What you can do is legally come to the end of your visa and apply for another one just before it runs out, which will by you a few more months/years.
