In my opinion fwiw the best way of doing things.
A couple of pointers though;
-You need a J1 visa to legally work in the US
- The J1 visa is NOT bound to the school
- Get a garantee that if they don't or can't or won't employ you, you can pack up and work somewhere else, other places pay better too.
-Zero to CFII should take about 6 months which leaves you with 1.5 years to work as a CFI.
-A J1 visa can not be extended, once it runs out you need to leave and connot be eligible for another J1.
- Spend your time wisely, the more instrument students the better, those are the skills you need.
- File and log IR training flights as IFR so you build up your IFR time.
- Multi time generally goes to the most senior instructor (right fully so), so at some point you may want to buy some multi time so budget for that also.
- It's hard work but very rewarding, the best MCC course you will ever do.
Where else will you get to fly with perfect strangers on the left seat and you have to make it work?
-You will mature tremendously in your attitude and aeronautical decision making.
PM for more details/ info.
