I would say unless you can qualify by family or marriage I would forget about it, your dealing with minuscule percentages and investing time and money into this you would rather deal with higher chances of a successful outcome.

While this doesn’t involve the USA , one option is to get a FAA lisence then hopefully have a career working overseas which is more doable. You will need a type rating or start of bush flying and still rely on networking and luck but its a higher chance then trying to get any type of work visa in the USA. You may run into issues with different countries medicals , as each country has different eyesight requirements sometimes even more strict than the UK.

sorry to be negative but I believe its best to be realistic , if you don’t feel like its doable working abroad and there is a lot less opportunities now for low hour pilots after covid 19 maybe it is something you might want to re consider and try to qualify in something else or just fly for fun .
