greencards
SAS-321,
I don't know what a C/D1 permit is, i havn't heard of it.
I originally applied to a job on findapilot.com, and because i had some hrs on type, they decided to sponsor me.
So I spent months getting a H1B sorted out. It wasn't an airline job, but a privately owned corporate part 135 position. Airlines won't usually sponsor a pilot from abroad.
I changed jobs in January, and now the INS wants to know everything from my high school results to the color of my socks.
It s**ks, because meanwhile millions of immigrants are illegal here.
To change jobs you have to transfer the H1B, and find an employer who'll do that. I phoned the chief pilot, asked him for an appointment, then convinced him why he should hire and sponsor me...bla bla bla.
In the time i've been here, I've bumped into a few other pilots from abroad on H1B permits, so its not impossible.
BYE
