J-1 VISA with 200h TT and CPL?

Hi

I’m from Europe and want to build hours as a CFI in the US. The thing is that I actually have a US CPL with about 200 hours TT.
I know about 3 helicopter flight schools which give their students a J-1 VISA. One in Oregon, one in Titusville and one in Fort Lauterdale.
At his point I’m not very interesting for a school because I won’t need much training for a CFI or CFII license, and maybe they are not able to give me a J-1.

My questions are:

-are there other schools than the 3 named above which offer a
J-1?

-are there any limitations like an hour-limit?

-is it possible to convert an H-VISA to J-VISA

I searched the forums but didn’t get the desired informations. I heard that there is a fourth school offering J-1 but I didn’t found the name yet.


Thank you, and fly safe …
